PlatoHackforth, R.(Edited by)
See all formats and editions

The dialogue begins with a playful discussion of erotic passion, then extends the theme to consider the nature of inspiration, love and knowledge.

The centerpiece is the myth of the charioteer - the famous and moving account of the vision, fall and incarnation of the soul.

Professor Hackforth here translates the dialogue for the student and general reader.

There is a running commentary on the course of the argument and the meaning of the key Greek terms, and a full intoduction to explain the philosophical background and the place of this work among Plato's writings.
