Step into an infinite world of stories
What if true courage wasn’t the absence of fear—but the wisdom to know when to face it?
In Laches, Plato explores the meaning of courage through a powerful conversation between Socrates and two Athenian generals. The dialogue begins with a question about military training—but quickly becomes a deeper philosophical inquiry into the nature of bravery.
This modern translation makes Plato’s wisdom approachable and relevant, offering a timeless guide to understanding virtue, strength, and leadership.
