Plato is a great ancient Greek philosopher whose ideas had a great influence on the formation of the human spirit and the culture of human thought of the following centuries. It is with him, a student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, that the formation of scientific thinking in the strict sense of the word begins. But Plato has always been regarded as an authoritative mystic who tried to convey to people the knowledge of pure being and the Good. This edition offers the reader selected dialogues of Plato - "Alkiviad I", "Gorgias", "Phaedon", "Pyrus", "Phaedrus", in which three major themes are considered: the nature of philosophical knowledge, ethical doctrine in connection with the evidence of the immortality of the soul and love as a force that turns the personality to knowledge and makes it godlike. In the famous dialog "The State" the philosopher tried to cover the main questions of human existence. The dialog opens with attempts to define the concept of justice, then the thinker considers six forms of state government - monarchy, aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy and tyranny - and finally proceeds to the description of an ideal state ruled by philosophers, "since only the wise can bear the care for the right way of life of all citizens".
