The great Athenian philosopher Plato was born in 427 BCE and lived to be eighty. Acknowledged masterpieces among his works are the Symposium, which explores love in its many aspects, from physical desire to pursuit of the beautiful and the good, and the Republic, which concerns righteousness and also treats education, gender, society, and slavery.

"Plato of Athens, who laid the foundations of the Western philosophical tradition and in range and depth ranks among its greatest practitioners, was born to a prosperous and politically active family circa 427 BC. In early life an admirer of Socrates, Plato later founded the first institution of higher learning in the West, the Academy, among whose many notable alumni was Aristotle. Traditionally ascribed to Plato are thirty-five dialogues developing Socrates' dialectic method and composed with great stylistic virtuosity, together with the 'Apology' and thirteen letters. The three works in this volume, though written at different stages of Plato's career, are set toward the end of Socrates' life (from 416) and explore the relationship between two people known as love ('erōs') or friendship ('philia'). In 'Lysis,' Socrates meets two young men exercising in a wrestling school during a religious festival. In 'Symposium,' Socrates attends a drinking party along with several accomplished friends to celebrate the young tragedian Agathon's victory in the Lenaia festival of 416: the topic of conversation is love. And in 'Phaedrus,' Socrates and his eponymous interlocutor escape the midsummer heat of the city to the banks of the river Ilissus, where speeches by both on the subject of love lead to a critical discussion of the current state of the theory and practice of rhetoric."-- "Plato's Lysis, Symposium, and Phaedrus were written at different periods of his long productive life, ranging from his early period to the late middle, roughly the late 390s/early 380s to the 370s BC. Although differing widely from each other in setting and approach, the works are grouped together here by virtue of their principal subject matter, a study of the relationship between two people known as love (erōs) or friendship (philia). As with almost all of Plato's works, they are in dialogue form, the central character in all three being Socrates. They are set (one might say 'staged') during the last period of Socrates' life, ca. 416-399."--
