Inhaltsangabe

Before you can lead others, you must first know yourself.

In this bold and accessible new translation of First Alcibiades, Plato’s powerful dialogue between the philosopher Socrates and the ambitious young statesman Alcibiades comes vividly to life for the modern reader. Set on the eve of Alcibiades’ debut in Athenian politics, the dialogue unfolds as Socrates challenges him—not about strategy, alliances, or policy—but about the very foundation of leadership: self-knowledge.

What follows is a gripping conversation that cuts to the heart of philosophy. What is the self? What is justice? Can we lead others without first ruling our own soul?

Monte Plaisance offers a fresh modern English rendering of the text, alongside historical commentary, character introductions, and a pronunciation guide to support both students and seekers. Ideal for classrooms, seminaries, or personal study, this edition invites readers into the living tradition of Socratic inquiry—and offers a profound mirror for anyone called to live with wisdom, integrity, and purpose.
