Why it’s on the list: The single-volume Hackett edition of all 36 dialogues and the letters — the practical answer to “everything by Plato”: one book, about 1,800 pages.
Where I saw it: Peter Savodnik’s April 2026 post telling readers to work through Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau — “To start.” Kyle saved it to his “Books To Read” note; this card is one of the twelve volumes that canon reduces to.
