"Not Complete Dialogues"
My Plato's Dialogues is 1500 pages. The intro on the audio says that this is only 150 pages. Perhaps it's "unabridged" but it is also "selected" and the summary should say so.
"Sad face!"
I liked the performance, and the dialogues. The dialogues did not start at the beginning of the chapter segments, so you cannot just skip to the particulars you wanted to hear; this was very disappointing! Change the recording format and you have a success.
"Next to Moses, the most important man in history"
Yes, and i bought the book for future reference. It is hard to imagine how western thought would have progressed without this influence of this man, his teacher Socrates, and his pupil, Aristotle and his pupil, Alexander the Great. This man, next to Moses and Christ changed the entire world's thought processes. Amazing.
The analysis of Socrates duty to the state. Magnificent.
This is a difficult work if it is not translated properly, and this was translated in such a way that everyone can understand and follow.
Understanding right and wrong, good and bad.
This should be mandatory reading for every person on the globe.
"Essential Read"
The collection of dialogues accounting for the trial and death of Socrates, along with the Republic and The Laws are essential reading when understanding one of Athen's greatest political authors: Plato.
