Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, born around 427 BCE in Athens. A student of Socrates, he founded the Academy, one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's work encompasses a wide range of topics, including ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology. His literary contributions are primarily in the form of dialogues, where philosophical ideas are presented through conversations between characters. Notable works include "The Republic," which discusses justice and the ideal state, "Symposium," exploring love and beauty, and "Phaedo," addressing the immortality of the soul. "Statesman" delves into the qualities and responsibilities of a true statesman. In it, Plato distinguishes between genuine leadership and mere political maneuvering. Plato's influence extends beyond philosophy; his ideas have shaped Western thought, science, and political theory for centuries. His exploration of the ideal state and the nature of justice remains relevant, inspiring countless discussions on ethics and governance.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Charmides examines the pursuit of temperance through an extended conversation that takes place during a casual gathering. Instead of focusing on individuals, the work studies the difficulty of defining self-control and inner discipline. The opening scene introduces a return home after time spent in demanding circumstances, where familiar surroundings lead to reflection and renewed curiosity about personal development. A discussion begins when a newcomer enters, admired for outward grace, prompting the question of whether genuine balance can exist beneath external appearance. Through a series of exchanges, temperance is connected to quiet behavior, then reconsidered as modest conduct, and finally interpreted as an understanding of one's own mind. Each explanation raises further uncertainty, showing that moderation is more than restraint or politeness. The search becomes an investigation into the link between knowledge and personal clarity. Rather than offering a rigid answer, the dialogue reveals how questioning values and motives strengthens awareness. The work suggests that the search for wisdom is ongoing and that clarity emerges not from certainty, but from the courage to question assumptions and understand the limits of one's thinking.
