Clitophon : The Unfinished Conversation – Plato’s Mysterious and Brief Challenge to Socrates’ Teaching

What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well?

In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed.

This modern translation captures the tension, ambiguity, and unresolved nature of Plato’s shortest dialogue—offering a powerful look at the limits of inspiration without action.

What you'll discover inside:

• A Direct Challenge to Socratic Philosophy – Clitophon accuses Socrates of failing to guide others to virtue

• A Dialogue Unlike Any Other – Brief, mysterious, and unresolved—leaving interpretation open

• The Limits of Inspiration – Explore the gap between admiration and transformation

• A Clear, Thoughtful Translation – Perfect for anyone studying the role of philosophy in real-life virtue

Experience Clitophon, Plato’s most cryptic confrontation, and decide for yourself—can words alone lead to wisdom?
