Course Description

This course is designed for people who have never read Plato or for people who “did Plato” in college and came away thinking once was enough. Besides being the world’s most famous philosopher, Plato is worth reading because he is shrewd about human nature and because he shows an artistic sense of the structure of a story. The readings will include three short dialogues from Plato’s early period (the Euthyphro, the Apology, the Crito) and three longer dialogues from his middle period (the probing Meno, the comic Symposium, and the beautiful Phaedrus).
