Description: Two important dialogues offer crucial insights into Platonic doctrine. "Symposium" deals with ultimate manifestation of love, eternal beauty. "Phaedrus" discusses psychology of love, "forms" as objects of transcendental emotion. Jowett translation. Plato ranks among the most familiar ancient philosophers, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle. In addition to writing philosophical dialogues — used to teach logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion, and mathematics as well as philosophy — he founded Athens' Academy, the Western world's first institution of higher learning.
