Through the intermediary of Socrates, Plato ushers in, this primordial intellectual moment: questioning oneself, without prejudice, on what makes the life of man, and of the community, worth living. This is the reason why we have continued to be the contemporaries of Socrates who, in the streets of Athens and its public squares, talked with his companions about what gives a human life value, what motivates any given individual or civic action and the goals which the individual and the community pursue. This edition includes the entirety of Plato’s dialogues, as well as the unseen translation of the questionable and apocryphal works. It additionally includes a general introduction, presentation notes for each dialogue, annexes, an index of names and of notions as well as a list of quotations, which will enable all, those new or familiar with the subject, to rediscover Plato.
