The Works of Plato: Analysis of Plato & The Republic are original Cosimo editions of a four-volume work, translated and analyzed by Benjamin Jowett. All of the works contained within are also published as separate works, but the four-volume set has added commentary from Jowett, considered one of the best translators of Plato's works. There are three editions in the Cosimo set; Volumes I and II make up the first book, and Volumes III and IV make up the second and third books. This set is ideal for any scholar of Plato and philosophy, whether amateur or seasoned. Volume IV contains works discussing character and virtues, finishing with Plato's The Laws, a guide on how to properly live as a citizen in any society. Also included in Volume IV: Charmides, Lysis, Laches, Protagoras, Ion, Sophist, and Statesman, among others. One of the greatest Western philosophers who ever lived, Plato (c. 428-347 B.C.) was a student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle. Plato was greatly influenced by Socrates' teachings, often using him as a character in scripts and plays (Socratic dialogues), which he used to demonstrate philosophical ideas. Plato's dialogues were and still are used to teach a wide range of subjects, including politics, mathematics, rhetoric, logic, and, naturally, philosophy.

“PLATO IS GENERALLY regarded as the most brilliant speculative mind the West has produced. Some philosophers have preferred the greater patience and methodical procedure of Aristotle, Aquinas, or more recent analytic philosophy; others have argued that the Platonic vision did not do justice to our intuitions of duration and existence; but no one will ever deny the continuing inspiration that Western philosophy has gained from Plato....”—Prof. Robert S. Brumbaugh, Introduction Originally published in 1962 and the first comprehensive work of its kind since Alfred Edward Taylor’s Plato in 1908, Professor Robert S. Brumbaugh’s Plato for the Modern Age represents a one-volume introduction to Plato’s biography and includes a complete account of his works. Plato for the Modern Age, like Plato’s life and works, is divided into three major periods: a youthful commitment to philosophical inquiry and its defense, a mature systematic vision, and a final careful criticism and application of the system Plato had envisaged. For each of these main periods, Prof. Brumbaugh first introduces Plato at different stages of his career, and provides an account of the dialogues he wrote: the characters who enact these dramatic intellectual conversations and confrontations, the theme they explore with its major variations, and “some internal evidence that our biographical notions are correct in assumptions such as that a visit to Tarentum would have led to new confidence in mathematics, one to Syracuse to less confidence in unprincipled dictatorship.” Plato for the Modern Age was designed as an introductory text for the beginner student of philosophy, and it will also greatly appeal to the general reader.

Plato's 'The Complete Works of Plato' is a comprehensive collection of his philosophical dialogues, encompassing topics such as ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology. Written in the form of dialogues between Socrates and various other characters, Plato's works are known for their Socratic method of inquiry and exploration of truth and virtue. His literary style is characterized by its depth, complexity, and intellectual rigor, making his works essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of Western philosophy. The dialogues provide insight into Plato's views on the nature of reality, knowledge, and the ideal state. Plato, a student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, was deeply influenced by the intellectual climate of ancient Greece. His dialogues often reflect his dissatisfaction with the prevailing moral and political attitudes of his time, leading him to offer alternative visions of justice, virtue, and the good life. Plato's enduring influence on Western thought is evident in his continued relevance to contemporary debates in philosophy and politics. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Plato' to readers seeking a deeper understanding of classical philosophy and its enduring significance. Plato's dialogues remain essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of Western thought and the pursuit of wisdom.
