Aprašymas
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato is perhaps the single most important figure in the history of philosophy, but what did he really mean by his allegory of the cave? How does his Theory of Forms have relevance to our everyday life? Could a political system based on philosopher kings really be the answer to society's ills?
In this slim volume, author Michael Moore answers these questions and more as he breaks down Plato's key ideas into easily accessible chunks. With each chapter featuring famous quotes from the philosopher followed by a broader discussion of his general theories, The Pocket Book of Plato provides an ideal introduction to one of the world's great thinkers.The ancient Greek philosopher Plato is perhaps the single most important figure in the history of philosophy, but what did he really mean by his allegory of the cave?
