The Republic

<div><B>Socrates defends himself in court in this resounding speech, recounted firsthand by one of history&rsquo;s greatest philosophers.</B><BR />  <BR /> Plato&rsquo;s <I>Apology </I>is an account of the speech Socrates makes at the Athenian trial in which he is charged with not accepting the gods recognized by the state, inventing new deities, and corrupting the youth of Athens. Recounted by Plato, Socrates&rsquo;s speech is a rousing examination of integrity, wisdom, and the role of a philosopher. It is filled with wit, intelligence, and lessons that remain relevant today.</div>

Apology

<div><B>A fascinating discussion on sex, gender, and human instincts by one of history&rsquo;s greatest philosophers.</B><BR />  <BR /> In the course of a lively drinking party, a group of Athenian intellectuals exchange views on desire. From their conversation emerges a series of subtle reflections on gender roles, sex in society, and basic human instincts. The debate precedes one great after another: Agathon, Aristodemus, Eryximachus, Pausanias, Aristophanes, and Socrates&mdash;all describing love in many possible permutations and combinations. The dialogue culminates in a radical challenge to conventional views by Plato&rsquo;s mentor, Socrates, who advocates transcendence through spiritual love. <I>The Symposium</I> is a deft interweaving of different viewpoints and ideas about the nature of love.</div>
