A collection of five of Plato's most famous Dialogues, This edition includes Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, and Phaedo.

• Euthyphro - A dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro in the weeks before the trial of Socrates.
• Apology - A dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates spoke at his trial.
• Crito - A conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito regarding justice, following his imprisonment.
• Meno - A dialogue between Meno and Socrates on the subject of virtue.
• Phaedo - A dialogue on the soul, set in the final hours before the death of Socrates.

One of Plato's most enduring works, these five dialogues punctuate the key moments in Socrates' life, from his trial to his death, with timeless philosophical debates about law, love, virtue, ethics and the meaning of life.

These dialogues feature Socrates speaking with a student or friend about the philosophical concerns of laws, the virtue of mankind, the purpose of the gods, and death. Each dialogue searches through different facets of philosophy and makes the reader question their own personal beliefs and morals.

These dialogues have profoundly influenced the history of intellectual thought, and offer crucial insight into mystical, aesthetic, and other aspects of Platonic doctrine. This edition is based on the 1892 translations by Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) and omits stephanus pagination.
