"Je t'affirme, dis-je, que je n'ai d'autre but en te faisant toutes ces questions que d'examiner les problèmes relatifs à la vertu et ce qu'est la vertu en elle-même. Car je suis persuadé que ce point éclairci jetterait une vive lumière sur l'objet de la longue discussion que nous venons d'avoir ensemble, moi prétendant que la vertu ne saurait être enseignée, toi, qu'elle peut l'être. [...] Si, en effet, la vertu était autre chose que la science, comme Protagoras a tâché de le prouver, il est clair qu'elle ne saurait être enseignée. Si au contraire elle se ramène exactement à la science, comme tu as à cœur de le prouver, Socrate, il serait bien extraordinaire qu'elle ne pût être enseignée." Protagoras

Plato (Greek: Πλάτων), born Aristocles (c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
Plato's most famous contribution is the theory of forms (or ideas), which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He was decisively influenced by the pre-Socratic thinkers Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although much of what is known about them is derived from Plato himself.
Along with his teacher Socrates, and Aristotle, his student, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy. Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years—unlike that of nearly all of his contemporaries. Although their popularity has fluctuated, they have consistently been read and studied through the ages. Through Neoplatonism, he also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy. In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Gorgias : pour sa brillante démonstration sur la réthorique, la justice, et la vertu

J'ai aimé les notes éclairantes d'Émilie Chambry avant chacun des dialogues. Par contre, la pensée de Platon via Socrate me déplai. La volonté de ridiculiser les sophistes porte Socrate à tenir une série de raisonnements illogiques. Je n'arrive donc pas à m'attacher à ses propos et considère cette lecture ennuyante.

Clairs, accessibles et très enrichissants. Ces six dialogues relatifs à la vertu, la morale, la connaissance et la politique sont vivants et touchants. Je pense que Platon exprime par là que le savoir doit se transmettre avec bienveillance, en ayant le souci d'être compris. La finesse psychologique qu'il prête à Socrate est délectable.
