Temperance was a key virtue in the classical world, and Socrates engages in dialogue with the youth Charmides and his guardian Critias in order to test and develop their assumptions about what exactly it means. With its focus on the human condition and the search for the correct way to live, PlatoΓÇÖs Charmides remains as relevant as when it was written over two millennia ago.
