Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Iππίας, Μείζων και Ελάσσων" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue likely written in the 4th century BC. The text focuses on a conversation between Socrates and the sophist Hippias, exploring the nature of beauty and its definitions. It examines various philosophical themes, including the relationship between beauty and goodness, as well as the efficacy of sophistry in society. The opening of the dialogue introduces Socrates as he warmly greets Hippias, who is busy with diplomatic duties among various city-states. Socrates engages Hippias in a discussion about the nature of wisdom and its relationship with monetary gain, highlighting a sharp contrast with ancient sages. The conversation quickly shifts toward defining what is "beautiful," with Socrates leading Hippias through a series of thought-provoking exchanges that challenge Hippias's self-assuredness. As the dialogue progresses, it is evident that Socrates employs his method of questioning to scrutinize and unravel Hippias's assertions on beauty, leaving room for further philosophical exploration.
