The Dialogues of Plato Containing the Apology of Socrates, Crito, Phaedo and Protagoras (LARGE PRINT EDITION) is a collection of philosophical dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The book includes four dialogues: the Apology of Socrates, in which Socrates defends himself against charges of impiety and corrupting the youth; Crito, in which Socrates discusses the nature of justice and the obligations of citizens to the state; Phaedo, in which Socrates discusses the nature of the soul and the afterlife; and Protagoras, in which Socrates debates with the sophist Protagoras about the nature of virtue and knowledge. This edition is printed in large font, making it easier to read for those with visual impairments or who prefer larger text. The Dialogues of Plato is considered a classic of Western philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars and students of philosophy.(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1899. With introductions by the translator and and a special introduction by Maurice Francis Egan. Jowett's translations of Plato's Dialogues have long been considered some of the best. Plato's Dialogues rank with the writings of Aristotle as the most important and influential philosophical works in Western thought. In Apology, he courageously defends the integrity of his teachings; in Crito, he demonstrates his respect for the law in his refusal to flee his death sentence; and in Phaedo he embraces death and discusses the immortality of the soul.
