Download Plato's Laches AudioBook Free
Laches, an over-all in the Athenian military, saw Socrates battle bravely in the struggle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another basic, are asked to make clear the idea of courage, they are in a loss, and words are unsuccessful them. So how exactly does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be reported to be courageous? How about small children who have little notion of the problems they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad outcomes? The type of education and training promotes both courage and goodness in people, if they are young or old? Plato constantly reveals courage as an essential quality for everyone who seek to live a good life, so what does it indicate when even the bravest market leaders of Athens cannot reveal what courage is really? © Agora Publications
