After an interval of some months or years, and at Phlius, a town of Peloponnesus, the tale of the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the 'beloved disciple.' The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative, because Socrates has to be described acting as well as speaking. The minutest particulars of the event are interesting to distant friends, and the narrator has an equal interest in them. During the voyage of the sacred ship to and from Delos, which has occupied thirty days, the execution of Socrates has been deferred. (Compare Xen. Mem.) The time has been passed by him in conversation with a select company of disciples. But now the holy season is over, and the disciples meet earlier than usual in order that they may converse with Socrates for the last time. Those who were present, and those who might have been expected to be present, are mentioned by name.

Phédon

Plato (circa 427-347 B.C.) was a famous Greek philosopher who is largely responsible for Western philosophy as we know it today. Plato was mentored by Socrates and much of his writings were based off of dialogues between Socrates and others. Plato also was the teacher of many philosophers with the most famous amongst them being Arisotle.This version of Plato’s The Letters includes a table of contents.

Œuvres Complètes, Vol. 4: Ire Partie, Phédon

Fictif ou historique, le Phedon constitue pour nous le testament de Socrate. Au fond de sa cellule, le philosophe est condamne a boire la cigue avant la tombee du jour, avec lui ses fideles emules. Platon, par un artifice bien litteraire, malade ce jour-la, sculpte la statue de son maitre, en decrivant un Socrate grave et resigne, un sage encore plus qu'un philosophe. Dans les heurs qui precedent sa propre mort, Socrate donne une derniere lecon, sur la mort justement. Cette coincidence entre le theme et le contexte du dialogue, confere a ce dernier une immense force d'emotion et donc de persuasion. Comment, dans une telle mise en scene, ne pas ecouter religieusement les theories, platoniciennes autant que socratiques, concernant la mortalite de l'ame et le jugement de celle-ci aux Enfers ? Notre edition presente en un volume ce texte fondateur de la litterature grecque. Le dialogue est replace dans l'ensemble des oeuvres de Platon et date de la maturite du philosophe. Les paralleles avec les autres oeuvres du philosophe, notamment Le Banquet, dont Phedon est le contemporain, sont soulignes avec precision, tandis que de nombreuses pieces d'anthologie, telle la comparaison de la lyre et de l'accord, et surtout le mythe de la geographie des Enfers sont analyses en detail. La riche notice introductive fait en outre le point sur les diverse influences, tant litteraires qu'historiques ou philosophiques qui traversent le texte. L'histoire de la tradition manuscrite est brievement relatee, tandis que des notes, developpees en fin d'ouvrage par des notes complementaires, accompagnent la lecture, faisant de cet ouvrage un remarquable outil de travail.

Lettres

Hippias mineur/Hippias majeur

On nous dit que Socrate a été l'ennemi constant des sophistes, même s'il s'est trouvé, à cause des poètes comiques (et surtout d'Aristophane), injustement confondu avec eux. On nous dit qu'à cause de cette confusion, Socrate est devenu de plus en plus impopulaire à Athènes. Mais nous savons avec évidence, parce que c'est lui-même qui le dit, que Socrate était, comme les sophistes, un éristique (c'est-à-dire, un homme qui se bat dans les discussions, qui objecte, qui réfute), pas seulement par goût, mais par principe et par sens du devoir. Socrate croyait devoir accomplir une mission divine, celle de convaincre les hommes de leur propre ignorance. Vocation qu'il a poursuivie tout au long de sa vie, au risque d'une impopularité grandissante. De cette vocation, de ce risque, l'Euthydème est un des plus forts témoignages.
