Critón ; El político

Dialogue that recounts the last hours of Socrates' life, becoming the link between the "Apology" and the "Phaedo" (both published in this collection), the "Crito", although it is one of the shorter Platonic dialogues It is also a small literary and philosophical diamond that reflects the ethical greatness of the character, helping to strengthen his legend. Of a very different nature is "The Politician", a dialogue that revolves around who should be the ruler of the polis, which contains essential aspects of Platonic method and thought and is a finished model of what, according to Plato, should be the method for obtain the truth through philosophical argumentation.
