January 4th 2024- Plato, celebrated as one of the world’s most studied philosophers, extensively documented Socrates’ philosophy in his famous Dialogues. These written exchanges between Socrates and various interlocutors serve as a comprehensive account of the philosopher’s thoughts and discussions.
One such dialogue, Phaedrus, unfolds as Socrates encounters Phaedrus after the latter has heard a speech by the orator Lysias. Set against the backdrop of the tranquil banks of the River Ilisos outside the walls of Athens, the philosophical discourse takes shape during a leisurely walk. Seeking shade under a plane tree, Socrates and Phaedrus engage in a profound dialogue that serves as a rich exploration of Socratic philosophy, as presented and immortalized by Plato.
