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.

About the Authors
Plato (circa 423–347 BC) was a philosopher in ancient Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Plato, together along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle, laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially philosophy of the Western tradition.
Julius Caesar (100 BC–44 BC) was a military general and leading politician in the Roman republic. His family, the Julii, claimed descent from the ancient kings of Rome and from the goddess Venus. Caesar rapidly carved out an impressive political career, forging an alliance with Pompey and Crassus in 60 BC. The Civil War is Caesar’s attempt at an explanation of the war that changed the Roman world.
