| Description: |
Angie Hobbs argues that the ideas of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato are more relevant today than ever. She explores how Plato's thinking can help us understand many of the challenges facing modern society, including democracy and authoritarianism, misinformation, celebrity culture, wealth, friendship, love, justice, and the search for a meaningful life.
Drawing clear connections between classical philosophy and contemporary issues, Hobbs demonstrates how Plato's methods of dialogue and critical questioning can encourage more thoughtful and constructive public debate. Written for both newcomers and readers already familiar with Plato, the book explains his key ideas with clarity and insight while showing their enduring practical value.
Hobbs makes a compelling case that Plato's wisdom offers powerful tools for navigating today's complex world and for reflecting on what it means to live well. |
