I probably will be presenting a small "seminar" (it is way less formal than that; more of a synopsis) on a few works by Plato, next month...
Currently am reading some other ones, eg Phaedo. Up to now i had mostly presented Parmenides, Theaetetos and one of the books of the Republic (the one with the cave allegory).
I thought of asking which works by Plato other posters here have read
My favourite is the Parmenides, given it includes more of a detailed account of dialectic thinking, while most other works just have bits here and there, and focus more on a theatrical narrative and general presentation (which is why Dostoevsky had termed Plato as the first novelist).
