What if beauty isn't just what we see—but a reflection of deeper truth?
In Hippias Major, Plato invites us into one of philosophy's earliest investigations into aesthetics. Socrates questions the sophist Hippias on the definition of beauty, leading to a challenging and often humorous journey through false starts, flawed logic, and unexpected insights.
This modern translation delivers Plato's wit and wisdom in accessible, engaging language, making the search for beauty as relevant today as it was in ancient Greece.
What you'll discover inside:
Uncover the essence of beauty with Socrates as your guide—and see how the search for the ideal can reshape how we see the world.
