In "An Extract out of Josephuss Discourse to The Greeks Concerning Hades," Flavius Josephus explores the ancient Jewish understanding of the afterlife, engaging deeply with Hellenistic thought. Written in a straightforward style, the text grapples with the tension between Jewish beliefs and Greek philosophy, particularly addressing contrasting notions of the soul, punishment, and rewards in Hades. Josephus employs logical discourse imbued with an academic rigor that was characteristic of his time, effectively bridging cultural divides and contributing to the broader conversation on mortality and existence. Flavius Josephus, a first-century Jewish historian, lived during a pivotal time when Jewish identity was challenged by Greco-Roman influences. His unique background as a priest, scholar, and adviser to Roman leaders equipped him with the insights necessary to navigate and articulate complex theological issues.

He was an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.Platos dialogues have been used (and are still used) to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism.This collection contains the following works by Plato:Early WorksApologyCharmides, or TemperanceCritoEuthyphroGorgiasHippias, LesserHippias, GreaterIonLachesLysisProtagorasTransitional WorksCratylusEuthydemusMenoParmenidesPhaedoPhaedrusSymposiumThe RepublicMiddle WorksTheaetetusLate WorksCritiasLawsPhilebusSophistStatesmanTimaeusWorks of Disputed AuthorshipAlcibiades I & IIEryxiasMenexenusTheages
