  1. Tanu Singh

    A challenging but rewarding exploration of love and rhetoric. Plato’s writing style can be dense, but the insights are worth the effort.

  2. Robin Thakur

    This edition of Phaedrus is excellent. The notes were helpful in understanding the text. It is very well written. I would recommend to other readers.

  3. Yatharth Mangla

    Plato’s genius shines through in this edition. The exploration of rhetoric is fascinating. A must-read for anyone interested in classical philosophy.

  4. Manas Charan Khare

    A mixed bag. Some parts were fascinating, others were tedious. I appreciated the attempt to explore complex themes, but it didn’t fully resonate with me.

  5. Saloni Lulla

    Phaedrus is thought-provoking, but some arguments felt repetitive. Socrates’ ideas on love were interesting. Overall, a decent read for philosophy enthusiasts.

  6. Sayantan Choudhury

    It was a good book. It had an in-depth analysis of the topic and the overall quality of the content was also good. I did enjoy it.

  7. Satyam Chaudhary

    Phaedrus is a brilliant dialogue that raises important questions about truth and beauty. I enjoyed the philosophical discussion, but some of the historical references were obscure.

  8. Sumit Kumar

    I found the translation clear and accessible. The introduction provided valuable context. However, the focus on homoerotic love felt a bit excessive at times. The book is great.
