«Phaedrus» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (96 pages, in English).
The dialogue takes place in the countryside outside Athens, where Socrates meets his young friend Phaedrus, who has just read a speech by Lysias on love. From that text they converse about love, beauty, human nature, the immortality of the soul, truth, and the principles of rhetoric.
English translation by Walter Hamilton. Part of the Penguin 60s Classics collection.
For readers interested in classical philosophy, Plato's dialogues, and rhetoric.
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.
