About This Book

Charmides is a classic dialogue by Plato, focusing on the concept of sophrosyne, or temperance. In this work, Socrates engages in discussion to define this virtue.

The dialogue takes place in ancient Athens, involving characters who debate the essence of self-control and moderation in thought and action.

Through questioning, Plato examines whether temperance is knowledge of itself or something more profound, highlighting the challenges of philosophical inquiry.

This Japanese edition makes the text accessible to readers interested in Western philosophy in an Eastern context.
