Different Editions of Platonic Books

[@raidenmunja5876]

I can see the first two-three books I go into being the Penguin editions (I saw your video on where to start with Plato so The Last Days of Socrates is among the first ones, though I personally wanna start with The Republic because of the forms). After that, I'll most likely get the Hackett edition if I'm still interested. Then, for those dialogues that I am really intrigued by in Hackett I could look up the Oxford editions of. A pretty informative and concise video, my friend. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed the info. The Republic is good also. Just start with whatever is easiest. 🙏

awesome collection bro, I'm gonna buy the collected works edition.

What happened to the PDF links? thank you!

[@brandonbattaglia8440]

Does the complete works book include the Allegory of the Cave?

[@bookclub5291]

It does. The allegory of the cave is in Plato’s Republic. Which, coincidentally we are studying. Book one this Thursday. See you there 👍🏼

[@shivashambo2107]

Which translation would you recomend ?

[@bookclub5291]

I don’t really have a preference. But as the Hackett editions are readily available through my videos, I’d say start there.

The Hackett version is thoroughly readable and lively
