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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44228369285185,"sku":"9781836392057","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/3179\/3984\/files\/Plato-a-Civic-Life-9781789149463.jpg?v=1784509987","url":"https:\/\/qagoma.store\/products\/plato-a-civic-life-paperback","provider":"QAGOMA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
