"Collected here in two volumes are the complete works of Plato, in the classic translation by Benjamin Jowett. One of the most influential thinkers of Ancient Greece or any other era, Plato formed the basis of Western philosophy. Mostly written in the form of dialogues with his teacher Socrates as the protagonist, his works address themes as varied as metaphysics, psychology, pedagogy, politics, and ethics. Despite the weighty subject matter, Plato's writing remains accessible to the general reader, and infused with wit and humor. Why is Plato worth reading today? His dialogues are vitally concerned with how we should live. His arguments always have an engagement with life. He combines the logical rigor of a philosopher with the imagination and artistry of a poet. In short, despite the passage of thousands of years, Plato remains relevant and compelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good edition of the Jowett translation
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
The previous reviewer obviously had a bad experience. The books I received - volumes 1 and 2 - were new and in good condition. The print was clear and a good size, the paper quality was good, and the books were clean. My only disappointment was the binding. These paperback books, like so many others, do not seem to be glued well at the spine. Volume 1 was OK but volume 2 was not glued well and I am not sure how it will hold up. I don't know if the hardcover editions would be better. This is the Jowett translation of the dialogues and if that is what you are looking for, this is probably the best printed version you are going to find.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not complete
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2021
Verified Purchase
The set itself is nice. Small print, but that's to be expected since there is so much content, but it's very readable print. I think there might have been plans for a volume 3 that never came about. Several dialogues are missing. This is what the two volumes contain:

Volume I:
Alcibiades I, Alcibiades II, Apology, Charmides, Cratylus, Critias, Crito, Euthydemus, Euthyphro, Gorgias, Ion, Laches, Laws, Lysis, Menexenus, Meno, Parmenides.

Volume II:
Phaedo, Phaedrus, Philebus, Protagoras, Sophist, Statesman, Symposium, The Republic, Theaetetus, Timaeus.

What it's missing:
Clitophon, Epinomis, Hipparchus, Hippias Major, Hippias Minor, Letters (Epistles), Lovers, Minos, Theages.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just a poor Print Out of What is available Online
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is a poor printout of what is available online.
On top of that the pages were filled with a certain dust (dirt) that made it impossible to open the pages and read the book.

The publishers ensured that the book was unreadable. Had to purchase a copy from elsewhere and made me wary of purchasing books from here.

Bought this as a present for my husband's 80th birthday - the print is a bit small but then it is a big book - I am hoping it will fill his reading time for the next 10 years!!
