{"product_id":"greg-johnson-tyranny-and-wisdom-9781642640601","title":"Tyranny and Wisdom","description":"In the Ancient world, one began the study of Plato with two dialogues: the Greater Alcibiades and the Gorgias, which depict Socrates' first conversations with two famous men: Alcibiades, the Athenian statesman, general, and traitor-and the great sophist Gorgias, who taught ambitious young men like Alcibiades how to rise as their society declined around them. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nGreg Johnson's Tyranny \u0026amp; Wisdom leads you carefully through these dialogues and demonstrates that the Ancients were right: together, they are an excellent introduction to Plato. Here we encounter Plato's most challenging ideas, threaded together by a highly dramatic conflict between two ways of life: the pursuit of power vs. the pursuit of wisdom.","brand":"Counter-Currents Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53770110075222,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/greg-johnson-tyranny-and-wisdom-9781642640601","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
