My point is that, even if you dismiss those works as having little scientific value, they have great literary value as well.



So, their place would be in the literature courses, not philosophy ones.


You're still not getting it. What I'm saying is that Plato's works have both philosophical and literary value. Even if you dispute the first, there is still the second.
