Plato – Laches, or Courage (Lakhes) – Say Yayınları Turkish Edition (2018)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Laches, or Courage (Lakhes) by Plato was published by Say Yayınları in 2018. Printed in Turkish, the work is one of Plato's early Socratic dialogues, focusing on the nature of courage and its place among the human virtues.

In the dialogue, Socrates joins the Athenian generals Laches and Nicias in a discussion about the education of young men and the true meaning of courage. As each participant proposes a different definition, Socrates carefully examines their arguments, revealing the complexity of defining virtue through philosophical inquiry rather than common opinion.

Themes such as courage, virtue, ethics, education, wisdom, and self-knowledge appear throughout the dialogue. Laches is regarded as one of Plato's most significant ethical dialogues, illustrating the Socratic method while exploring whether courage is merely bravery in battle or a deeper form of moral and intellectual excellence.
