"Plato's Dialogues" are autobiographical... meaning Plato was the author. If you're reading it in English, you're merely reading an interpretation by one of many authors.

Mmh...could you possibly mean Socrates' dialogues?
You see, Plato was Socrates' diciple and often placed the great philosopher in the dialogues he wrote.......so in fact he was using Socrates figure to voice his own theories, which was easy enough to do and virtually impossible to contradict since Socrates didnt leave any written records!!!!
Well dunno if it answeres your question but it never hurts to learn something new!
