Description

This book introduces readers to the philosopher who helped shape the way we think about the world. It includes a look at the social gadfly Socrates, Plato's mentor, whose martyrdom led Plato to form a new system of knowledge based on reason. This is a lucid explanation of this great thinker's major ideas. In this "documentary comic book," Plato's life unfolds in a lively and humorous way, teaching the reader such classic dialogues as Symposium, Phaedo, The Apology, and The Republic.
