"Plato's Dialogues" selects and translates seven dialogues by the ancient Greek sage Plato. Plato's dialogues are vivid and dramatic in writing. They are not only beautiful philosophical works, but also outstanding literary works. They can be said to be the inexhaustible source and inexhaustible treasure trove of the entire Western culture. Mr. Dai Ziqin's translation can be said to be unique among the many translations of Plato in China.

Reader comments
The writing style of this book is very unique, like watching a drama, and the dialogue is very vivid. Moreover, Plato's philosophical thoughts are also very interesting, reminding me of "The Analects", which convey thoughts through dialogue. This book is truly a treasure and worth reading again and again.
After reading Chapter 1 - Views on Friendship, it's really well written.
Hey, it really is like this. The teaching of friendship is written in the deduction. This is a double line. 1. It is a deduction to teach practical friendship. 2. It is a deduction. It is a simplified binary discussion of what friendship is. There is no result because 1 tells us that friendship is not black and white, but a blend of many factors. Of course, it does not deny that there is mutual need.
Inspiration for this chapter:
I feel that Plato is a very interesting person. He is playing games with us through articles. After reading this chapter, I have a strong desire to go to ancient Greece to communicate with him and discuss the ideas of this chapter. I want him to interact with my point of view. I want to know whether what I think is what he thinks. I want to know what reply he will give me after I say this. Well, I still have more to say.
Socrates' humility and studiousness are enough for us to learn for a lifetime.
It feels quite speculative and interesting.
It is difficult to read and difficult to get started.
