About this ebook

Laches is one of Plato ́s early dialogues and part of a series of dialogues in which Socrates discusses the requirements for a successful life. Here, Socrates converses with two important Athenian generals, Laches and Nikias, in search of the answer to the question: What is the essence of courage? Jörg Hardy has written an exhaustive commentary on this work and puts this dialogue in the context of Plato ́s complete works, paying particular attention to the historical background and discussing the individual sections in great detail.
