About this audiobook
"Laches" is a philosophical dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of courage and the role of education in developing moral virtue. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and two generals, Laches and Nicias, who are both renowned for their military expertise. Socrates begins by questioning Laches and Nicias about their understanding of courage. They both agree that courage involves endurance in the face of danger, but they struggle to define it more precisely. Socrates then challenges their beliefs by asking them to consider whether courage is simply a matter of endurance or whether it also involves knowledge and wisdom. Read in English, unabridged.
