The Temporality of Human Excellence: A Reading of Five Dialogues of Plato
ISBN: 9780761820710 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why does Plato write dialogues? Why more than one?

Taking up each dialogue as a separate drama, the reading seeks to focus attention on how each, by its characters, their interplay and conversation, and the apparent lack of positive issue to the discussion they engage in, contributes to a sketch of human excellence as a...

A Journey Into Platonic Politics: Plato's Laws
ISBN: 9780761826897 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "One should not take up the Laws as a plan for a new society nor as a means to critique one's own nation and its customs.

But it should surprise only those who believe that love and loyalty are deep set obstacles to thought and reflections. In contrast, such attachments, and not their facile critique, are precisely what lead us to take a healthy interest in and reflect fruitfully upon other people's...

The book investigates central works of Plato and Aristotle to...
