Plato – Lesser Hippias (Küçük Hippias) – Say Yayınları Turkish Edition (2011)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Lesser Hippias (Küçük Hippias) by Plato was published by Say Yayınları in 2011. Printed in Turkish, the work is one of Plato's early Socratic dialogues, exploring the nature of truthfulness, falsehood, virtue, and moral responsibility.

In the dialogue, Socrates debates with the sophist Hippias over the characters of Achilles and Odysseus as portrayed in Homer's epics. Through a series of probing questions, Socrates investigates whether a person who deliberately tells a falsehood may, paradoxically, possess greater knowledge than someone who lies out of ignorance. The discussion develops into a broader examination of intention, knowledge, and ethical conduct.

Themes such as truth, deception, virtue, knowledge, ethics, and philosophical inquiry appear throughout the dialogue. Lesser Hippias is regarded as an important example of the Socratic method, demonstrating Plato's use of dialogue to challenge conventional assumptions and encourage critical thinking.
