What if every word you spoke shaped the destiny of another soul? Plato's Phaedrus is both a sensual ode to Eros and a brilliant dissection of rhetoric. Beginning beneath the shade of a plane tree, the conversation ascends from a seductive speech by Lysias to Socrates' mythic vision of winged souls yearning for the divine. Along the way, readers witness the birth of literary criticism, the critique of writing itself, and the blueprint for authentic dialogue. What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation: * A Lyrical Love-Philosophy - Explore Socrates' twin speeches that contrast selfish desire with ennobling, soul-lifting love. * The Craft of Persuasion Unveiled - Clear commentary explains classical rhetoric's five parts and why Socrates brands most oratory as flattery. * The Soul's Journey Mapped - Vivid explanatory notes illuminate the charioteer myth, reincarnation, and Platonic forms. * Writing versus Living Speech - Timely reflections on media, memory, and why dialogic thinking still matters in the digital age. * Reader-Focused Design - Section headings, concise summaries, and pronunciation guides make ancient Greek ideas vibrantly accessible. Let Phaedrus invite you into philosophy's most enchanting picnic-where every syllable can raise wings in the heart.
