Beskrivning

Plato is the best known and most widely studied of all the ancient Greek philosophers. Malcolm Schofield, a leading scholar of ancient philosophy, offers a lucid and accessible guide to Plato's political thought, enormously influential and much discussed in the modern world as well as the ancient. Schofield discusses Plato's ideas on education, democracy and its shortcomings, the role of knowledge in government, utopia and the idea of community, money and its grip on the psyche, and ideological uses of religion.

This is a thoughful and illuminating discussion of a complex and intensely debated topic... this book seems to me highly successful, both in offering a very accessible treatment for readers of different backgrounds and in probing new and promising lines of enquiry.
