Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This volume brings together four significant works by the ancient philosopher Plato: 'Cratylus', 'Greater Hippias', 'Parmenides', and 'Lesser Hippias'. Each dialogue provides a unique lens into the Socratic method and the development of Platonic thought. In 'Cratylus', the investigation centers on the philosophy of language, debating whether the names of things arise from nature or convention. The 'Greater Hippias' explores the elusive definition of beauty, while the 'Lesser Hippias' tackles the moral complexities of truth and deception.Perhaps the most intellectually rigorous piece in this collection is 'Parmenides', which presents a formidable challenge to the Theory of Forms. Through a series of dialectical arguments, the work examines the relationship between the One and the Many, influencing centuries of metaphysical inquiry. Translated by H. N. Fowler, these dialogues remain a cornerstone of Western philosophy, offering timeless insights into ethics, aesthetics, and the nature of reality. This collection is an essential resource for anyone seeking to engage with the foundational questions of classical Greek literature and philosophy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
