The brave man is he who overcomes not only his enemies but his pleasures - Democritus Our next two episodes explore virtue, with this episode specifically discussing Plato's view of virtue, as explained through his Laches dialogue. The dialogue explores ideas of courage, bravery, and virtue.

We would love to hear from you!
