À propos de cet audio
These five very different Socratic Dialogues date from Plato's later period, when he was revisiting his early thoughts and conclusions and showing a willingness for revision.
In Timaeus (mainly a monologue read by David Timson in the title role), Plato considers cosmology in terms of the nature and structure of the universe, the ever-changing physical world and the unchanging eternal world. And he proposes a demiurge as a benevolent creator God.
Though unfinished, Critias (read by Peter Kenny) is a fascinating document in which Plato tells the story of the strong island empire of Atlantis and reports of a more ideal Athens in the past.
In Sophist, Plato questions the nature of the sophist and how he differs from a statesman or a philosopher.
In Statesman, Plato questions his earlier projection as the philosopher king as the ideal ruler (The Republic) and considers the importance of other issues such as political awareness.
In Philebus, Plato's spotlight falls on hedonism, the life of pleasure - and the balance offered by wisdom and intelligence.
Translation by Benjamin Jowett.

Here are three important but very different Dialogues from the Middle Period. Symposium, the most well-known in this collection, is concerned with the theme of love. In the house of Agathon, a group of friends - each very different in personality and background - meet to consider and discuss various kinds of love. Each one, Phaedrus, Pausanias, Eryximachus, Aristophanes (the playwright) and Agathon (a prize-winning tragic poet), presents his particular view in a short discourse.

Here, in this second collection of Socratic Dialogues from Plato's Early Period, read by David Rintoul as Socrates with a full cast, are contrasting six works. Often, as with Gorgias, which opens the recording, Socrates combats the popular subjects of sophistry and rhetoric, in direct conversation with Gorgias (a leading sophist teacher), and with one of his pupils, Callicles.

The Republic is perhaps the single most important, the most studied and the most quoted text of all of Plato's Socratic Dialogues. Through the medium of Socrates, Plato outlines his view and ideas concerning the ideal working of the city-state. Socrates narrates a conversation that took place the previous day with Cephalus, Glaucon, Thrasymachus and others. The dialogue is organised into 10 books and covers a broad range of topics, including the ideal community and the ideal rulers of the community.

Histoire5
The remarkable range of Plato's Dialogues is vividly demonstrated by these three works. It opens with Phaedrus, a highly personal discussion between Socrates (David Rintoul) and the young, love-struck Phaedrus (Gunnar Cauthery). They go for a walk outside the walls of Athens and, under a plane tree by the banks of the Ilissus, talk about love - erotic and 'Platonic' love. Socrates endeavours to steer Phaedrus away from infatuation and show him that real love is based on concern for the beloved.

The Laws is the longest of Plato’s Dialogues and actually doesn’t feature Socrates at all - the principal figure taking the lead is the ‘Athenian Stranger’ who engages two older men in the discussion, Cleinias (from Crete) and Megillus (from Sparta). The Dialogue is set in Crete, and the three men embark on a pilgrimage from Knossus to the cave of Dicte, where, legend reports, Zeus was born.

Histoire10
Here are the Socratic Dialogues presented as Plato designed them to be - living discussions between friends and protagonists, with the personality of Socrates himself coming alive as he deals with a host of subjects, from justice and inspiration to courage, poetry and the gods. Plato's Socratic Dialogues provide a bedrock for classical Western philosophy. For centuries they have been read, studied and discussed via the flat pages of books, but the ideal medium for them is the spoken word.

The performance and material-as-presented is perfect 5/5, but there are many errors in this product on Audible. Perhaps not in an original audio master, but who can tell? This needs to be addressed for a high quality product.
While working through Plato's works, reading the original text helps boost comprehension, along with availability of translator notes, beyond the straight-through reading.
A search online can find digitized copies of 2nd and 3rd editions of Benjamin Jowett's translations; the Volume 4 (of 5 volumes) which corresponds to most of the dialogs in this recording, here.
A precise example of an error: within Sophist, in chapter 20 of the audio book, from 10:25 - 10:30 you hear the reader say "but we participate with the soul through... (???... narrator has an awkward pause here)... in true essence..."
the 2nd edition text reads: "but we participate with the soul by thought in true essence,
the 3rd edition text reads: "but we participate with the soul through thought in true essence"
There are other examples. For example, 8 pages (eight!) of Sophist. The dialog between the Stranger and Theaetetus near the end, on sentences, is deleted from this recording. The proper position for these lost 8 pages is after the end of Chapter 21, and before the beginning of Chapter 22, of the Audible recording.
I originally intended a 5/5 review, lowered to 4, then lowered again to 3 for overall impression.
Good, but plenty of errors
