Ἐπιστολὴ ζ΄
The longest and most important of the letters ascribed to Plato, the Seventh Letter recounts his disillusionment with politics, his ventures at the court of Syracuse, and the death of Socrates as the turning point of his life.
It contains a famous digression on the limits of written words and on how true understanding is kindled in the soul “like a light leaping from a fire” — a key text for those who seek an unwritten Platonic teaching.
