    this book is like LAW SCHOOL in 150 pages!! Would you go to law school if you could just read this book and be equally as qualified? I'm watching Law and Order, and that three shows a day with this book should be A.B.A approved for a law degree like for real man

    ok, i did not like this version of Plato's Dialougues. the translation was very unclear and made it very hard to follow...so i bought the pinguin version and enjoyed it alot more than this...

    Contains Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Symposium and some extracts from the Republic.

    I'd say all these dialogues are worth reading. Phaedo is probably the one to read of any, since it describes the death of Socrates. Symposium is a bit long-winded, but seems to most dramatic: it has various guests at a dinner party discoursing on Love. The Apology is Socrates trial defence. Crito is where Socrates explains why he'd rather submit to death than flee.
