Plato – Alcibiades I & II (Alkibiades I & II) – Say Yayınları Turkish Edition (2010)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Alcibiades I & II (Alkibiades I & II) by Plato was published by Say Yayınları in 2010. Printed in Turkish, the volume contains two classical Platonic dialogues centered on the young Athenian statesman Alcibiades, exploring the nature of self-knowledge, virtue, leadership, and political responsibility.

In Alcibiades I, Socrates questions the ambitious Alcibiades, arguing that anyone wishing to govern others must first understand and govern oneself. The dialogue develops the famous philosophical principle of self-knowledge as the foundation of wisdom and just leadership. Alcibiades II continues the discussion by examining prayer, piety, and the importance of understanding what is truly beneficial before asking the gods for favors.

Themes such as self-knowledge, virtue, ethics, justice, political philosophy, and education appear throughout the dialogues. Traditionally associated with Plato's early philosophical works, these texts remain important introductions to Socratic thought and the ethical foundations of leadership.
