«Fedro» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Edições 70 as a booklet (135 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
Socrates and Phaedrus converse about love and, from there, about true rhetoric: the art of speaking that must be grounded in philosophy. The dialogue examines the relationship between the human soul and truth, and discusses what writing can offer compared to oral discourse, as well as the persuasive power of language.
It belongs to the series «Diálogos de Platón» (volume 3) and to the collection «Clásicos griegos y latinos» by Edições 70. Translation, introduction and notes by José Ribeiro Ferreira.
For students and readers of classical philosophy who want to approach Plato's dialogues in a Brazilian Portuguese edition.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
