Excerpt from Platon Oeuvres Complètes, Vol. 13: 2. Partie; Dialogues Suspects: Second Alcibiade; Hipparque; Minos; Les Rivaux; Théagès; Clitophon
Les dialogues Si certains dialogues accueillis dans Suspects le corpus platonz'cum étaient regardés sans aucun doute comme apocryphes, tous ceux qui avaient été classés en trilogies ou en tétralogies n'étaient pas pour cela considérés comme nécessairement authen tiques. On en tenait plusieurs pour suspects déjà dans l'antiquité. Athénée, par exemple, nous rapporte que des critiques attribuaient à Xén0phon le Second Alcibiade; Élien n'acceptait pas en toute confiance l'hipparque; Thrasylle hésitait à désigner Platon comme l'auteur des Rivaue Proclus rejetait résolument l'epinomis.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Throughout antiquity, many works were written on Socrates. This particular text is part of a series of Platonic writings. These dialogues are thought to be the work of an author later than Plato, but they were accepted by ancient readers as authentically Platonic. The book consists of three dialogues, all with Socrates as the main character. This dialogue is titled "Alcibiades II," and it begins with Alcibiades about to pray to a deity. Socrates questions the wisdom of praying without knowing whether what is being prayed for is good or bad and draws Alcibiades into a discussion of prayer. The dialogue provides an interesting look at the nature of prayer, wisdom, and the good life. "Alcibiades II" is a fascinating read for those interested in ancient philosophy and the works of Plato. The dialogue offers valuable insights into the nature of prayer and provides a glimpse into the philosophical discussions that took place in ancient Greece.
