100 citaten van Plato

I’ll admit, I approached *100 citaten van Plato* with skepticism—how could Plato’s sprawling ideas possibly fit into 26 minutes? But Rosanne Laut sold me in the first quote alone. Her narration strikes a perfect balance: she’s neither dry nor overly dramatic, but her phrasing lifts Plato’s words out of antiquity, making them feel like they were written yesterday. The production is seamless, with no distracting audio artifacts, though I did wish a few transitions between topics were smoother—Pindar’s quotes, for example, feel a tad abrupt. That said, the pacing is ideal for the content; no one needs an audiobook to ponder Plato’s metaphysics for hours. My only real critique is the selection’s breadth—some quotes are deep, others feel too niche, leaving gaps in the broader narrative. Still, as a taster or refresher, this is a brilliant way to acquaint yourself with Plato’s legacy. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, especially to anyone who thinks philosophy is too dense for a quick listen.
