About the book: In this second compilation of Socratic Dialogues from Plato's Early Period, featuring David Rintoul as Socrates alongside a full cast, six contrasting works unfold. The recording begins with Gorgias, where Socrates engages in a direct conversation with Gorgias, a prominent sophist teacher, and his pupil, Callicles, tackling the themes of sophistry and rhetoric. Meno follows, with Socrates debating the concept of 'virtue' with Meno, another disciple of Gorgias. The discussion on virtue continues in Protagoras, where Socrates, narrating most of the dialogue, reports on a conversation that occurred shortly before, delving into the intricacies of this philosophical topic. About the Author: Plato (428/427 or 424/423 – 348 BC), the ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens, founded the Academy, a philosophical school propagating what later became known as Platonism. Innovating the dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato explored major areas of theoretical and practical philosophy. His notable contribution is the theory of forms, addressing the problem of universals. Influenced by Socrates, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, Plato, along with Socrates and Aristotle, holds a central role in philosophy's history. His surviving body of work, spanning 2,400 years, has consistently influenced Western philosophy and beyond, earning Plato enduring recognition.
