Description

Explore the complexities of ancient Greek thought with this seminar from Oxford University Press. This work examines the Seventh Platonic Letter, which details Plato's efforts to transform the ruler of Sicily, Dionysius II, into a philosopher ruler as envisioned in the Republic. This text provides insight into Plato's transition from politics to philosophy during his youth and his subsequent attempts to apply these philosophical ideas to actual political structures. It also offers an analysis of his perspectives on language, writing, and the nature of philosophy. Because Plato provides very little personal information within his dialogues, this text serves as a significant source of information regarding his life and views. The seminar also addresses the long-standing scholarly debate regarding the authenticity of the letter.
