| Summary |
In a typical Socratic dialogue, Socrates and various companions debate the meaning of a well-known concept like truth, justice or knowledge. By asking probing questions, Socrates makes his listeners realize that their beliefs are not as self-evident as they thought they were. Sometimes Socrates and his interlocutors come up a better definition of the concept they’re discussing, and sometimes they do not. In this trio of dialogues, Socrates and his friends and students discuss love (“Phaedrus”), friendship (“Lysis”) and virtue (“Protagoras”). “Lysis” in particluar is famous for Socrates’ descriptions of the various types and reasons for friendship, though at the end of the dialogue he tells his listeners that he thinks his ideas might be wrong after all. |
