Alcibiades I : A Young Politician’s Search for Self-Knowledge – Plato’s Dialogue on Ambition and the Soul

What if true leadership begins with the courage to look inward?

In Alcibiades I, Plato stages a riveting dialogue between Socrates and the young, glory-seeking Alcibiades. As the young man prepares to enter politics and shape the fate of Athens, Socrates urges him to reflect on a deeper question: How can you lead others if you have not come to know yourself?

This modernized audiobook version brings clarity and intensity to one of Plato’s most inspiring philosophical encounters—where ambition meets wisdom and the path to greatness is revealed to lie within.

What you’ll discover inside:

• A powerful dialogue on self-awareness as the foundation of leadership and justice

• Alcibiades’ internal struggle between ego and ethics, fame and virtue

• Socratic reasoning at its sharpest, uncovering truth through self-examination

• A clear, accessible translation ideal for personal development and political thought

Whether you’re on a journey of growth or exploring the foundations of wise rule, Alcibiades I offers timeless insight for mastering the self before mastering the world.
