Los diálogos Banquete y Fedro fueron escritos por Platón en su época de máximo es-plendor filosófico y literario. En ambos medita su autor sobre lo que los griegos llamaban eros y nosotros amor, entendido como deseo radicalmente sexual que aspira a la posesion permanente de la belleza y el bien. En eso coincide Platon con poetas y misticos de todos los tiempos y con hombres de ciencia tan eminentes como Darwin y Freud. En el Banquete los comensales de una velada, y en el Fedro Socrates y un efebo mientras descansan en las afueras de Atenas, discuten sobre el eros. La trama del primer dialogo culmina cuando Socrates revela lo que sobre este asunto le enseño una experta mujer, la sacerdotisa Diotima; y la del segundo, con el "mito del auriga", que simboliza al alma humana como un carruaje alado que surca el cielo arrastrado por dos corceles, uno de ellos de mala condicion, que obstaculiza el viaje. Son muchos los que opinan que Aristoteles, Kant y Hegel superaron con su logica y sus tratados la filosofia de Platon. Tambien hay quienes piensan que la dialectica y los dialogos platonicos estan hoy mas vivos que esos tratados.

"Cármides" es un diálogo temprano de Platón, centrado en la exploración de la virtud de la "Sofrosina", un concepto griego antiguo de un ideal de excelencia de carácter y solidez de ánimo, que cuando se combina en un individuo bien equilibrado conduce a otras cualidades, como la templanza, la moderacion, la prudencia, la pureza, el decoro y el autocontrol; usualmente traducida como templanza, moderacion o sabiduria interior. El dialogo se situa poco despues de la batalla de Potidea. Socrates, que acaba de regresar del frente, visita el gimnasio de Taureas, donde se encuentra con jovenes atenienses, entre ellos Carmides, un joven de gran belleza fisica y miembro de una prominente familia aristocratica. Socrates conversa con Carmides para indagar en que consiste la sabiduria. A lo largo del dialogo, Socrates, fiel a su metodo, formula preguntas para analizar y refutar distintas definiciones que Carmides ofrece sobre la sabiduria: primero se dice que es la modestia, luego que es hacer bien las propias cosas, mas tarde que es conocerse a uno mismo. Cada definicion es examinada criticamente y se muestra insatisfactoria o contradictoria. Socrates introduce una idea mas profunda: que la sabiduria podria ser una especie de conocimiento, especificamente el conocimiento de uno mismo. Sin embargo, incluso esta nocion resulta problematica, ya que Socrates y sus interlocutores no logran explicar de manera concluyente que utilidad tendria un conocimiento que se limita a conocerse a si mismo sin aplicarse a ningun campo concreto.

In "Euthyphro," Plato presents a profound dialogue that explores the nature of piety and the essence of moral virtue through a conversation between Socrates and Euthyphro. Set against the backdrop of Athenian society, this text employs a Socratic method to scrutinize popular theological beliefs and ethical principles, raising essential questions about the relationship between divine command and moral obligation. The dialogue is characterized by its incisive logic and literary elegance, typical of Platos style, inviting readers to re-evaluate their understanding of what it means to be virtuous and religiously devout. Plato, a student of Socrates and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, wrote "Euthyphro" during a period marked by political upheaval and philosophical inquiry within Athens. His exposure to Socratic dialogue and the Socratic method undoubtedly influenced his thought process, as he sought to analyze and contextualize ethical concepts through rigorous debate. The text embodies an early exploration of moral philosophy, reflecting Platos ongoing quest for truth and understanding amidst the complexities of human behavior and belief. "Euthyphro" is an essential read for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or theology.

In "Menexenus," Plato presents a captivating dialogue that unfolds as a mock funeral oration, showcasing the art of rhetoric and philosophy. Written in a style that blends praise for the Athenian state with a satirical twist, this work is notable for its exploration of themes such as patriotism, civic duty, and the construction of identity through collective memory. The dialogue also serves as an insightful commentary on the role of the philosopher in society, particularly in relation to the oratorical excesses of contemporary rhetoric, reflecting Platos larger philosophical discourse on truth and morality. Plato, one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought, was deeply engaged with the political and ethical dilemmas of his time. His experiences during tumultuous periods in Athenian history, including the Peloponnesian War, profoundly shaped his views on governance and the nature of the human soul. "Menexenus" emerges as both a tribute to the fallen and a critique of the glorification of war, illustrating Platos unique ability to navigate personal and societal themes through dialogue.

La frescura, viveza y claridad que Platón supo insuflar en sus diálogos han permitido que su pervivencia y rotunda actualidad sigan interesando a los lectores de nuestros días. Su brillante capacidad artistica y la fuerza intelectual de su obra se ofrecen en una armonica relacion de palabra y pensamiento perfectamente articulada en los treinta y cinco dialogos que dejo escritos. En esta nueva edicion, revisada por el profesor Oscar Martinez, se ofrecen tres muestras de la facilidad con la que Platon acuño la forma literaria mas apropiada para la transmision del conocimiento, desde prismas diversos y sin caer en el dogmatismo de la disertacion. En el Protagoras se nos ofrecen los mas destacados principios de la moral socratica y la discusion se centra en si la virtud es un saber y, en caso de serlo, si se trata de un saber de lo bueno y bello o es un saber tecnico. En el Gorgias se discute acerca de la verdadera naturaleza de la retorica. Y, por fin, en el Menon se trata de que es la virtud, o, mejor, si ella es enseñable o, en su defecto, adquirible mediante la practica.
