书籍介绍
Outstanding translations by leading contemporary scholars -- many commissioned especially for this volume -- are presented here in the first single edition to include the entire surviving corpus of works attributed to Plato in antiquity. In his introductory essay, John Cooper explains the presentation of these works, discusses questions concerning the chronology of their composition, comments on the dialogue form in which Plato wrote, and offers guidance on approaching the reading and study of Plato's works. Also included are concise introductions to each translation, meticulous annotation designed to serve both scholar and general reader, and a comprehensive index. This handsome volume offers fine paper and a high-quality Smyth-sewn cloth binding in a sturdy elegant edition.

精彩摘录
- "Now the hour to part has come. I go to die, you go to live. Which of us goes to the better lot is known to no one, except the god."
- "Socrates: Why have you come so early, Crito?Or is it not still early? Crito:It certainly is. Socrates: How early? Crito:Early dawn. Socrates: I am surprised that the warder was willing to listen to you. Crito: He is quite friendly to me by now, Socrates. I have been here often and I have given him s"
- "For anyone who hears this, who is a true lover of wisdom,with the divine quality that makes him akin to it and worthy of pursuing it, thinks that he has heard of a marvelous request that he must at once enter upon with all earnestness, or life is not worth living; and from that time froth he pushes "
- "Diotima:"And if a thing is not wise, it's ignorant? Or haven't you found out yet that there's something in between wisdom and ignorance?" Socrates:"What's that?" Diotima:" It's judging correctly without being able to give a reason. Surely you see that this is not the same as knowing---for how could "

我对自己最大的骄傲之一就是读完了这个。
Republic, Phaedo, Protagoras, Euthyphro, Apology, Euthydemus.
γηράσκω δ᾽ αἰεὶ πολλὰ διδασκόμενος.
via 刘玮, 仅限于Euthythphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Symposium。大爱Apology。
还是买来了。。。太厚阅读体验捉鸡
毕业，工作，换了个工作换了个industry换了个lifestyle，孤单寂寞迷茫时心中还是会浮现其中的quote和论证，温暖我的还是一些里面的话。小时候想做academia觉得多浪漫啊， 一本子就研究那么几行字；现在觉得只要有丰厚的精神世界，生活还是可以很浪漫的，我还是能从读书学习中获得这么多。
看了Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Symposium 有时间再啃Republic
After a semester of Ancient Phil, a semester of Plato, and a semester TA’ing for Ancient Phil… 还是没有全部读完
课本，必读
