Who Is Phaedrus? <br/> This book delivers answers. <br/> Many have said Phaedrus is the most intriguing of Plato&apos;s works. Phaedrus is certainly one of the most difficult to follow and fathom. In part this is because the title figure, Phaedrus himself, has remained a mystery. <br/> Who Is Phaedrus? takes us on a tour of this intricate dialogue: a work of philosophy and history, and a work of art. <br/> In Who Is Phaedrus? we see how and why Phaedrus became involved in the most sensational scandals, both religious and political, in ancient Athens; and yet we see Phaedrus come across as a person remarkably contemporary, someone who could walk through a time seam and be wholly understandable as a soul in the twenty-first century. <br/> Perplexed as well as perplexing, Phaedrus, in the final analysis, needs Socrates&apos; timeless philosophy as a salve and therapy, and we follow along as Socrates delivers.
