书籍简介

这里收录了两卷《柏拉图全集》，由本杰明·乔维特翻译。作为古希腊或其他任何时代*具影响力的思想家之一，柏拉图形成了西方哲学的基础。他的作品主要以主人公苏格拉底的对话形式书写，主题包括形而上学、心理学、教育学、政治和伦理学。尽管主题沉重，柏拉图的作品仍然为一般读者所接受，充满了机智和幽默。为什么柏拉图值得我们今天阅读?他的对话与我们应该怎样生活密切相关。他的争论总是与生活有关。他结合了哲学家的逻辑严谨和诗人的想象力和艺术性。简而言之，尽管经过了数千年，柏拉图仍然具有相关性和说服力。

Collected here in two volumes are the complete works of Plato, in the classic translation by Benjamin Jowett. One of the most influential thinkers of Ancient Greece or any other era, Plato formed the basis of Western philosophy. Mostly written in the form of dialogues with his teacher Socrates as the protagonist, his works address themes as varied as metaphysics, psychology, pedagogy, politics, and ethics. Despite the weighty subject matter, Plato's writing remains accessible to the general reader, and infused with wit and humor. Why is Plato worth reading today? His dialogues are vitally concerned with how we should live. His arguments always have an engagement with life. He combines the logical rigor of a philosopher with the imagination and artistry of a poet. In short, despite the passage of thousands of years, Plato remains relevant and compelling.

作者简介

柏拉图（Plato， 公元前427年—公元前347年），是古希腊伟大的哲学家，也是整个西方文化中最伟大的哲学家和思想家之一。

柏拉图和老师苏格拉底，学生亚里士多德并称为希腊三贤。他创造或发展的概念包括：柏拉图思想、柏拉图主义、柏拉图式爱情等。柏拉图的主要作品为对话录，其中绝大部分都有苏格拉底出场。但学术界普遍认为，其中的苏格拉底形象并不完全是历史上真实存在的苏格拉底。

除了荷马之外，柏拉图也受到许多在他之前的作家和思想家的影响，包括了毕达哥拉斯提出的“和谐”概念，以及阿那克萨戈拉将心灵或理性作为判断任何事情正确性的根据；巴门尼德提出的连结所有事物的理论也可能影响了柏拉图对于灵魂的概念。

Plato was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought, and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.
