Laches concerns itself with the question of what bravery is. Bravery is an aspect of an altogether good and happiness inducing spiritual mood. The Laches is a fascinating, early document on the Socratic theory of a successful life, which is expanded on little by little in other Socrastic dialogues. German text.
English summary: Laches is one of Plato’s early dialogues and part of a series of dialogues in which Socrates discusses the requirements for a successful life. Here, Socrates converses with two important Athenian generals, Laches and Nikias, in search of the answer to the question: What is the essence of courage? Jorg Hardy has written an exhaustive commentary on this work and puts this dialogue in the context of Platos complete works, paying particular attention to the historical background and discussing the individual sections in great detail. German description: Der Laches zahlt zu den fruhen Dialogen Platons. Er ist Teil einer ganzen Gruppe von Dialogen, in denen Sokrates die Bedingungen eines gelingenden Lebens erlautert. Im Gesprach mit den zwei bedeutenden athenischen Feldherren Laches und Nikias geht Sokrates den Fragen nach, was Tapferkeit sei und wie eine insgesamt gute seelische Verfassung, deren Bestandteil die Tapferkeit ist, genau beschaffen sei. Jorg Hardys ausfuhrlicher Kommentar ordnet den Dialog in das Gesamtwerk ein, erlautert den zeitgeschichtlichen Hintergrund und geht detailliert auf die einzelnen Abschnitte ein.
