Plato the Teacher

- The Crisis of the Republic

Om Plato the Teacher

In this unique and important book, William Altman shines a light on the pedagogical technique of the playful Plato, especially his ability to create living discourses that directly address the student. Reviving an ancient concern with reconstructing the order in which Plato intended his dialogues to be taught as opposed to determining the order in which he wrote them, Altman breaks with traditional methods by reading PlatoΓÇÖs dialogues as a multiplex but coherent curriculum in which the Allegory of the Cave occupies the central place. His reading of Plato''s Republic challenges the true philosopher to choose the life of justice exemplified by Socrates and Cicero by going back down into the Cave of political life for the sake of the greater Good.
