Alcibiades I by Plato
"Alcibiades I" by Plato is a dialogue from ancient Greece. Socrates confronts the ambitious young Alcibiades just as he prepares to enter Athenian politics. Through persistent questioning, Socrates exposes the youth's ignorance about justice, virtue, and self-knowledge. He challenges Alcibiades to examine his soul and pursue true wisdom before seeking power. The dialogue explores whether the charismatic young man will accept Socrates as his mentor and commit to improving his character—or whether
political ambition will prove too strong. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
