Produktbeschreibung
A spark of ancient wisdom, rekindled for today's readers. Alcibiades I opens a doorway into classical philosophy dialogue that feels electric in the modern age, where questions of ethics, virtue, and power still matter as they did in ancient Athens. In this enduring work, Plato crafts a lucid conversation that invites us to weigh the nature of virtue, the art of persuasion, and the delicate balance between enquiry and rhetoric. The dialogue glides through early Socratic questioning, exploring ethics and virtue against the backdrop of political philosophy and power, all within the richly textured setting of ancient Greece and classical Athens. It is a compact guide to thinking well, a precursor to larger debates in the republic and beyond, conveyed with clarity that makes it accessible to undergraduate philosophy readers without sacrificing intellectual rigor. This is more than a text; it is a window into a scholarly culture where the Socratic method and rhetoric shaped how ideas are tested and shared. Historically, Alcibiades I stands as a keystone in the lineage of Western thought, a bridge between mythic tradition and disciplined inquiry. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, this edition is a cultural treasure-out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, restored for today's and future generations. It is, in essence, a collector's item that invites ongoing study, reflection, and conversation, a true classic philosophy anthology in modern companionship.
