This book covers all the angles and interpretations of words in a conversation. It's one hell of an exercise in that application.

The was actually BIG. Size 14.Perfect for the purpose. The translation is classic, too (Jowett's).Thumbs up.

Owning this book is like receiving the deed to a gold mine. Gold is not on the surface but with a little digging and mining, nuggets of gold (wisdom) can be found everywhere.

This is not the complete works and as far as I'm concerned the title is false advertising. I should have taken it on myself to do more research but I stand by 1 star as not only is it not the complete works but it is not even the most important, notably missing the Symposium and the Republic. I would return if the price of shipping wasn't the cost of the book itself. A shame because the publishers do not deserve any money for this printing of a text, all of which can be legally obtained for free online. I wanted a print copy of what I already have from project Guttenburg.

Submitted for your approval!His complete works

Great

This book is NOT the complete works of Plato. ‘The Republic’, perhaps the most important of all of his writing, is all together missing from this text. Terribly disappointing.

Quality book for life learning

The book is good and complete collection in chronological order!

Watch out! This is not the complete works, but only 7 dialogues.The book is actually pretty decent for the price, with 7 dialogues and lengthy introductions to each (about half the length of the dialogue itself usually). If it had just said "Plato: 7 dialogues" or something, I'd probably give it 4 or 5 stars, but I just find it extremely scummy to blatantly lie in the title. I actually find it quite funny that the book refers to a bunch of dialogues that are not even in the book, in the introductions.Also, the book is quite ugly IMO, but that's just preference (although the covers have some kind of rubber on them, so they feel quite nice when you hold it.

Tiny text, but good stuff

… that for few bucks you can buy 'golden nugget' :-)
