Socrates was driven by a love for truth so great that he suffered death rather than give up his search. Though he never wrote down his thoughts, he had a brilliant pupil in Plato, who immortalized his teacher's legacy in 35 timeless dialogues that laid the philosophical basis for Western civilization.
In fact, Alfred North Whitehead once famously remarked, all of philosophy is but a footnote to Plato.
Professor Michael Sugrue of Princeton University brings the Socratic quest for truth alive in these lectures, which discuss ideas that are as vital today as they were 25 centuries ago. Ideas about truth, justice, love, beauty, courage, and wisdom. Ideas that can change lives and reveal the world in new ways to the true student.
[b]An Indispensable Companion[/b]
Next to the Bible, the dialogues are perhaps the most studied and scrutinized work in Western literature.
Professor Sugrue reveals the inner structure, action, and meaning of 17 of Plato's greatest dialogues, making this course an indispensable companion for anyone interested in philosophy in general or Platonic thought in particular.
The dialogues share some general characteristics:
[list][*]They are not a soliloquy, but rather a discussion.
[*]They are not between equals (there is a teacher-student relationship).
[*]Plato himself never speaks.
[*]Each dialogue is a work of art, but all, taken together, constitute one huge artwork.
[*]At the center of the form is irony.
[*]The dialogues are very clearly intended to be a teaching tool.
[/list]Dr. Sugrue shows how each dialogue breathes with the feeling, the tension, and even the humor of great theater.
On a human level, they testify not only to the greatness of Plato's gifts, but to the loyalty, friendship, and dauntless love of learning that he shared with his beloved master.
