J. N. Theodorakopoulos considered any serious engagement with philosophy inconceivable without a constant interaction with the ancient Greek philosophical texts. It was therefore natural for the Platonic dialogues to hold a central place in his teaching program at the Philosophy School of the University of Athens.
'Phaedrus', the dialogue about beauty and love, garnered more of his attention and affection than all the others: he taught it and re-taught it to his students and, more permanently, gifted us all an excellent edition of it (1948).
The four hundred pages of the introduction, in which the reader will find a brilliant, point-by-point interpretation of the 'Phaedrus', combined with his now-classic work 'Introduction to Plato' (1941), constitute the precious diptych of J. N. Theodorakopoulos's Platonic legacy to the younger generations.
