內容簡介

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Plato's retelling of the discourses between Socrates and his friends on such subjects as love and desire, truth and illusion, spiritual transcendence and the qualities of a good ruler, profoundly affected the ways in which we view human relationships, society and leadership - and shaped the whole tradition of Western philosophy.

本書收錄《會飲篇》和《洞穴寓言》。《會飲篇》（或譯作《饗宴篇》《宴話篇》）是柏拉圖早期的一篇對話式作品，它描述了在一次宴會上，一羣雅典男性對愛的本質的討論。該作品以演講和對話的形式寫成，既有諷刺式的，也有認真的談話。《洞穴寓言》選自《理想國》，柏拉圖簡明扼要地駁斥了“善即快樂”或“善即學問”的觀點，卻拒絕直接給出自己的看法，而是借用“洞穴寓言”來闡述他的觀點，這是他首次詳細解釋唯心主義。

作者簡介

Plato (c.427-347 BC) stands with Socrates and Aristotle as one of the founders of the Western intellectual tradition. Inspired by Socrates' teaching, Plato sought a cure for the ills of society not in politics but in philosophy, and in the early fourth century BC he founded the Academy in Athens, the first permanent institution devoted to philosophical research and teaching. He wrote over twenty philosophical dialogues.
