The dramatic nature of Plato’s dialogues is delightfully evident in the "Symposium."

A dialogue between Socrates and Meno probes the subject of ethics. Can goodness be taught? If it can, then we should be able to find teachers capable of instructing others about what is good and bad, right and wrong, or just and unjust.

To answer that puzzle, Socrates questions one of Meno’s servants in an attempt to show that we know fundamental ideas by recollecting them.

Victorian erotica at its finest, this books contains explicit descriptions of sex and is intended for adults only.

Great fun, but definitely not for the prudish.

This book is for adults only, since the descriptions describe a wide variety of sexual activities very explicitly.

Some men take an occasional journey into the 13th of One Corinthians, but Henry Drummond was a man who lived there constantly, appropriating its blessings and exemplifying its teachings.
