Socrates is regarded as the founder of Western philosophical inquiry. Yet he left no writings and claimed to know ‘nothing fine or worthy.' he spent his life perplexing those who encountered him and is as important and perplexing now as he was 2500 years ago. Drawing on the various competing sources for Socrates that are available, Socrates: A Guide for the Perplexed guides the reader through the main themes nd ideas of Socrates' thought. Taking into account the puzzles surrounding his trial and death, the philosophical methods and ethical positions associated with him, and his lasting influence, Sara Ahbel-Rappe presents a concise and accessible introduction. She concludes by suggesting that it is in fact the Socratic insistence on self-knowledge that makes Socrates at once so pivotal and so elusive for the student of philosophy

R. E. Allen's superb new translation of Plato's Symposium brings this classic text to life for modern readers. Allen supplements his translation with a commentary that not only enriches our understanding of Plato's philosophy and the world of Greek antiquity but also provides insights into present-day philosophical concerns. Allen reveals the unity of Plato's intentions in the Symposium, explores the dialogue's major themes, and links them with Plato's other dialogues. His wide-ranging commentary includes discussions of Greek religious, social, and sexual practices, the conceptual connections between the Symposium and Freud, the influence of the Symposium on later writers, and recent scholarship on the dialogue. Allen's primary focus is philosophical, however, and he succeeds in explicating the doctrine of Eros in Plato's Symposium so that the reader can see how wish and desire relate to Plato's moral philosophy, epistemology, and metaphysics.

Un manuscrit que l'on croyait perdu, œuvre magistrale de toute une vie, le portrait d'un Socrate humain, spontané et passionné qui, entouré des bruits de la Cité, inaugure un nouveau genre de vie : le grand texte inédit d'Albert Thibaudet sur le père fondateur de la philosophie occidentale bouscule bien des idées reçues. Thibaudet nous propose un Socrate qui lui ressemble beaucoup, nullement dogmatique, familier et savant. Ce qui le retient, c'est la parole d'un Socrate immédiat et changeant qui se réalise dans un constant échange vivant. Une étude passionnante qui, au-delà de la quête du " Socrate réel ", vaut par les vues d'ensemble portées sur la philosophie des présocratiques à Bergson, par les parallèles établis entre Socrate et Euripide, entre les tragiques et les politiques, entre la philosophie et la sculpture grecques, entre l'Ulysse d'Homère et le Socrate de Platon. En ce sens, Thibaudet s'inscrit dans " la marche normale de l'induction socratique qui, écrit-il, est de constater des similitudes, d'aller du semblable au semblable ".

Among Plato's later dialogues, the Parmenides is one of the most significant. Not only a document of profound philosophical importance in its own right, it also contributes to the understanding of Platonic dialogues that followed it, and it exhibits the foundations of the physics and ontology that Aristotle offered in his Physics and Metaphysics VII. In this book, R.E. Allen provides a superb translation of the Parmenides along with a structural analysis that procedes on the assumption that formal elements, logical and dramatic, are important to its interpretation and that the argument of the Parmenides is aporetic, a statement of metaphysical perplexities. Allen's original translation of and commentary on the Parmenides were published in 1983 to great acclaim and have now been revised by the author.

Erotic Wisdom provides a careful reading of one of Plato's most beloved dialogues, the Symposium, which explores the nature and scope of human desire (erôs). Gary Alan Scott and William A. Welton engage all of the dialogue's major themes, devoting special attention to illuminating Plato's conception of philosophy. In the Symposium, Plato situates philosophy in an intermediate (metaxu) position—between need and resource, ignorance and knowledge—showing how the very lack of what one desires can become a guiding form of contact with the objects of human desire. The authors examine the concept of intermediacy in relation both to Platonic metaphysics and to Plato's moral psychology, arguing that philosophy, for Plato, is properly understood as a kind of "being in-between," as the love of wisdom (philosophia) rather than the possession of it.
