It is a classic oldie. I got it because Persig identified his alter ego as Phaedrus. And I was curious. I still do not know why the Zen motorcyclist identified with Phaedrus. I do know that Socrates talks about love here and he specifically addresses the question of how one should treat a young boy that one loves. Things were different then, huh. Or were they? Take out the man-boy relationship used as an example, and there's a lot there about the right way to love someone. Still, I understand why it is not on the Great Books reading list.

A Hoot of an Afternoon Conversation

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

A chat by the riverside, out of the noon day sun, about how everyone else is an idiot and how easy it is to manipulate the human mind. There's not question that Plato is a world-class egotist, but if you want to read him talking circles around someone smaller than him. You may find yourself inspired to wield rhetoric like a weapon afterward, or you may find yourself telling the author to pick on someone his own size.

An astoundingly clear exposition of the beautiful and true. Should be read once a year to clear one's head. As relevant as anything written today.

Gloss cover, well printed but the book is quite large. Not thick but large. When I finish reading it I will definitely have to find a place to put it that isn't my bookshelf but either way I can't wait to read.
