Plato's Phaedrus-logo

Plato's Phaedrus

Plato

Plato’s dialogues frequently treat several topics and show their connection to each other. The Phaedrus is a model of that skill because of its seamless progression from examples of speeches about the nature of love to mythical visions of human nature and destiny to the essence of beauty and, finally, to a penetrating discussion of speaking and writing. It ends with an examination of the love of wisdom as a dialectical activity in the human mind. Author - Plato. Narrator - Albert A. Anderson. Published Date - Thursday, 19 January 2023.
