What if praying for the wrong thing led you further from the good?
In Second Alcibiades, Plato invites readers to a bold examination of prayer, intention, and the blindness of ambition. Socrates challenges the fiery young Alcibiades to reflect on whether he even understands what he should pray for before entering the political arena.
What you'll discover inside:
• The Fragility of Political Ambition – A revealing dialogue between Socrates and Alcibiades on the ignorance behind power-seeking.
• A Sharp Critique of Prayer – Philosophical guidance on why piety demands more than sincerity.
• A Modern, Accessible Translation – Clear, faithful, and resonant for today’s listener.
• Essential Themes of Plato’s Philosophy – Explore the timeless tension between desire, knowledge, and divine will.
More than a conversation—Second Alcibiades is a philosophical awakening.
