Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if friendship was the purest form of love In Lysis, Plato turns his attention to the delicate fabric of friendship-the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual ties that bind us to one another. Set in a wrestling school in Athens, the dialogue features Socrates in discussion with two boys, Lysis and Menexenus. Playful at first, the conversation gradually deepens, probing the nature of friendship and asking whether it arises from mutual goodness, shared need, or simply admiration.Is friendship a reflection of self-love Is it something we seek in others because of our deficiencies-or our virtues And why is it that those closest to us often remain the most mysterious This modern translation retains the sweetness, humor, and nuance of Plato's original, while making his ideas about relationships, human connection, and love accessible to today's reader.What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation: - A Heartfelt Exploration of Friendship - Discover one of the earliest and most thoughtful examinations of what it means to truly care for another.- Socratic Questioning in its Gentlest Form - Watch how Socrates leads a tender inquiry without harshness, letting curiosity guide the heart.- Timeless Questions About Love and Connection - Explore whether friendship comes from likeness, difference, or a deeper spiritual resonance.- An Accessible, Modernized Dialogue - Perfect for readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and the art of human bonds.- A Philosophical Classic for the Soulful Seeker - Lysis invites you to reflect not only on the friends you have, but the kind of friend you are.For readers yearning for meaningful dialogue about love beyond romance, Lysis offers a gentle but profound conversation that echoes across centuries.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What if logic could be used to mislead more than to reveal In Euthydemus, Plato stages one of his most humorous and revealing dialogues. Socrates, ever the champion of sincere knowledge, sits with a promising youth named Clinias when two professional sophists, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, interrupt to demonstrate their so-called teaching of virtue. What follows is a dizzying verbal circus-paradoxes, fallacies, and clever wordplay that frustrate Socrates and amuse the reader.Yet beneath the laughter lies a serious message. Plato critiques the dangers of style over substance, showing how language, when abused, can obscure truth instead of uncovering it. This modern adaptation preserves the comic brilliance of the original while making its philosophical depth accessible to all readers.What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Satirical Masterpiece on Education - Witness Plato's critique of sophistry through the absurd antics of his most ridiculous characters.The Dangers of Misused Logic - Understand how arguments can be twisted into meaningless traps.Socrates at His Wittiest - Enjoy Socrates' subtle responses as he navigates the chaos with both patience and precision.A Timeless Reflection on Language and Meaning - Explore how words can illuminate or obscure the truth.Modern Language, Classical Wisdom - A translation that keeps the wit sharp and the ideas clear for today's audience.Whether you love philosophy, debate, or dry humor, Euthydemus will leave you thinking-and laughing-long after the final exchange.…
