description: 1899. With introductions by the translator and and a special introduction by Maurice Francis Egan. Jowett's translations of Plato's Dialogues have long been considered some of the best. Plato's Dialogues rank with the writings of Aristotle as the most important and influential philosophical works in Western thought. In Apology, he courageously defends the integrity of his teachings; in Crito, he demonstrates his respect for the law in his refusal to flee his death sentence; and in Phaedo he embraces death and discusses the immortality of the soul.
