No current Talk conversations about this book. the socrates of meno and phaedo is clearly the voice of plato. when socrates goes from questioning everything (the real socrates) to "concluding" things he previously had--or would have--questioned (plato) he becomes a rather uninteresting and mundane character. still, when the true socrates shines he really does shine. Five Dialogues: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo. Plato, translated by G.M.A. Gruber. 1981. This was the first reading selection for the new book club. I hadn’t read Plato since Dr. Lott’s class in world literature at Montevallo, so reading it was tough, although the more I read the easier it became. After the discussion I want to go back and re-read it! What struck me was the similarities of the ethical concerns in these with Judo-Christian thought. no reviews | add a review
