Description
In this engaging introduction, Constance Meinwald explores how Plato has profoundly shaped Western philosophy. She provides essential historical context and guides readers through Plato’s unique use of literary masterpieces to convey complex philosophical ideas.
The book delves into some of Plato’s most famous discussions on key human questions, such as erōs, the nature and immortality of the psyche, human excellence, the good life, and his provocative views on culture, society, and political organization. Meinwald carefully outlines Plato’s foundational theory of Forms, tracing its development and its connections to Greek science and mathematics.
Drawing extensively from Plato’s dialogues, Meinwald offers a lively, accessible, and illuminating presentation of Plato’s philosophy.
The volume also includes a helpful chronology, glossary of terms, and suggestions for further reading, making it an excellent introductory resource for students of ancient philosophy and classics.
