More accessible than most of his dialogues, and with helpful footnotes that often veer into the irrelevant (unless you´re interested in ancient Greek as a language). Unfortunately, neither of these save the content of the dialogue itself from being boring. The majority of it is a discussion of man/boy love, and the last part is a discussion on rhetoric. There is some interesting punning going on, especially when Socrates uses a soul´s budding wings as a metaphor for an erection. Also nicely, the translator goes a long way in explaining the mentality of the ancient Greek. The love discussion is interesting just because you learn a lot about the relationships that older Greek men enjoyed with young men or boys, something I doubt most people know about. As for the discussion on rhetoric, Gorgias is much more interesting. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This is an English translation of one of Plato's least political dialogues of Socrates and Phaedrus discussing many themes: the art and practice of rhetoric, love, reincarnation, and the soul. It includes an introduction, notes, glossary, appendices, and an interpretive essay and introduction. Also included are rarely seen illustrations, stone carvings, and vase paintings. Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a glossary intending to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Plato's immediate audience.
