 The philosopher of idealism, Plato remains the spokesman for all those who are perennially young in their love of wisdom and their curiosity about the mysteries of the human soul.  The poetic charm and the dramatic suggestiveness of his writings lend persuasion to Plato’s central theme- the clarification and harmonizing of life by reason.  Under the brilliant editorship of Irwin Edman, the Modern Library edition of The Philosophy of Plato, in the Jowett Translation, contains in its more than 600 pages ten dialogues and is one of the most comprehensive collections of Plato’s works issued in a single volume.
