Opis

The problems facing Plato's world bear striking parallels to ours today, the author maintains, so who better to turn to than Plato, the most objective and most ruthless observer of the failures of Greek society. This text provides both an informed introduction to Greek ideas and an original and controversial view of Plato himself.
