Bøger af Platonic Imitator

Eryxias is a philosophical dialogue attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, but likely written by an imitator. The dialogue takes the form of a conversation between Socrates and two wealthy men, Eryxias and his friend Polemarchus. The trio discuss the nature of wealth and its relationship to happiness, with Socrates arguing that true happiness cannot be achieved through material possessions alone.
