Best Answer

Socrates did not actually write anything down. He merely sat in the agora and engaged in discussions, which were later recalled and written down by his student Plato. Plato used Socrates often in his "dialogues", which highlight the way in which his teacher engaged in philosophical discussions.

What was the name of Platos book?

The Republic was the most important and the most famous book written by Plato. It is written in the dialogue form. It is the record of an argument which takes place between Socrates and a number of others in the Athenian society around the year 420 B.C. The whole dialogue is compiled in the book in Ten parts, Book I to Book X. Scholars have through the centuries raised a question of Socratic Factor over this book, i.e. how much of the book represents Socrates and how much is Plato's original work. Since Socrates did not attempt to write any book, it was through this Republic that his philosophy and ideas survived and reached people.
