Plato Dialogues on Love and Friendship, translated by celebrated Oxford scholar Benjamin Jowett, gathers the Greek philosopher’s most intimate discussions on affection, desire, and the soul. This 1968 Heritage Press hardcover pairs the timeless text with elegant line drawings by Eugene Karlin, making it as much an art object as a window into classical thought.

The volume is firmly bound and free of markings, dog-ears, or tears; pages remain crisp and readable from a smoke-free home. Light foxing appears only on the closed page edges, leaving the interior clean and inviting for readers or collectors.

Vintage philosophy books in this condition are increasingly scarce, especially Heritage’s illustrated editions aimed at both young adults discovering Plato and seasoned antiquarian hunters. A quiet shelf presence, it offers both scholarly substance and decorative charm.
