J'ai adoré, le dialogue est d'une précision et d'une wittiness exceptionnelles. C'est drôle tout en étant une superbe démonstration du lien entre pouvoir, connaissance  et amour

It’s one of Plato’s disputed works and for me the first half or so didn’t feel like any of the previous dialogues I’ve read, but as it moved along it started to resemble them more closely. I’m clearly no scholar on Plato but I did enjoy reading this overall and it makes a lot of sense why this was for a long time the main introduction for students to Platonic thought. I’d probably recommend it too as among the first few to be read by newcomers to the corpus of Western Philoosphy.

În acest volum, urmărim dialogul lui Alcibiade cu Platon. Un dialog filozofic, despre realitatea vremii, natura umană, visele și aspirațiile celor implicați. Nu este o lectură rapidă, dar oferă o viziune despre literatura antică.

The author of this text is almost certainly not Plato, but they definitely were someone close enough/well-read in his writings that Platonic philosophy comes through here.

What starts off as a mocking narrative becomes a routine philosophical examination from Dr. Socrates, where he diagnoses misunderstanding justice, inheriting bad knowledge from the crowd, and imminent humiliation. The treatment: good chats about philosophy and a bit of cuddly time (not bodily, of course!).
