Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, wrote many dialogues, which are structured as conversations, often featuring Socrates as a central character.
Crito: This dialogue involves a conversation between Socrates and his friend Crito regarding justice, injustice, and the appropriate response to injustice. It takes place in Socrates' prison cell as he awaits execution.
Phaedo: This dialogue recounts the last hours of Socrates' life and discusses the immortality of the soul. It is one of Plato's most famous and significant works.
Symposium: This dialogue is a series of speeches given by different characters at a banquet, discussing the nature of love (Eros). It is another of Plato's well-known and influential works.
Metaphysics: This is a major work by Aristotle, not Plato. It deals with the nature of reality, being, and existence. Although Plato's work heavily influenced Aristotle, "Metaphysics" is not a Platonic dialogue.
