Plato wrote philosophical dialogues in ancient Greece, using conversations between Socrates and other speakers to examine justice, knowledge, politics, love and the good life.

Symposium approaches love through a sequence of speeches at a drinking party, while Phaedo centres on the final hours of Socrates and arguments about the soul.

They fit classical philosophy, political thought and ethics, often read alongside Aristotle and later Western philosophy. Read more Less
