What if the most meaningful love wasn’t romantic—but philosophical?

In Lysis, Plato invites us into one of his most tender and insightful dialogues—a search for the essence of friendship. As Socrates speaks with the youthful Lysis and Menexenus in a schoolyard setting, what begins as a lighthearted exchange becomes a profound meditation on affection, admiration, and the soul’s need for connection.

This modern audiobook adaptation offers a heartfelt and accessible journey into one of the most enduring philosophical questions: what does it mean to truly love a friend?

What you’ll discover inside:

• A gentle philosophical dialogue exploring the foundation of friendship

• A soulful meditation on what makes relationships meaningful and lasting

• Timeless questions about affection, virtue, and self-knowledge

• A fluid, modern translation perfect for contemplation and connection

Whether you're reflecting on lifelong friends or seeking deeper connection, Lysis is a lyrical and lasting companion.
