{"product_id":"atack-carol-plato-9781789149463","title":"Plato","description":"Now in paperback, a new reading of Plato's philosophy that reveals it as deeply shaped by his experiences in Athens. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Plato is a key figure from the beginnings of Western philosophy, yet the impact of his lived experience on his thought has rarely been explored. Born during a war that would lead to Athens' decline, Plato lived in turbulent times. Carol Atack explores how Plato's life in Athens influenced his thought, how he developed the Socratic dialogue into a powerful philosophical tool, and how he used the institutions of Athenian society to create a compelling imaginative world. Accessibly written, this book shows how Plato made Athens the place where diverse ideas were integrated into a new way of approaching the big questions about our lives, then and now.","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769907077462,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/atack-carol-plato-9781789149463","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
