Description

First published in 1930, this Routledge revival edition presents an imagined philosophical conversation between Plato and a modern young man, exploring timeless questions across two distinct parts. The first section examines political and social institutions, discussing property, forms of government, socialism, population control, war and education through a classical lens. The second part investigates the nature of real Goods, including truth, art and love, with Plato reaffirming his belief that true good originates from a higher world that human spirits are destined to pursue. This work bridges ancient philosophy and contemporary thought, offering readers insight into Platonic ideals and their relevance to modern society and human aspiration.

Key Features

The dialogue format between Plato and a modern young man creates an engaging exploration of ancient philosophical ideas applied to 20th-century concerns.

Part one addresses practical matters including government forms, socialism, property rights, population control, war and education from Platonic perspective.

Part two investigates fundamental concepts of truth, art and love, examining how Plato understood real Goods and their transcendent origins.

Published originally in 1930 and revived by Routledge, this work preserves G. Lowes Dickinson's accessible approach to classical philosophy.

The text presents Plato's conviction that human spiritual destiny involves pursuing authentic Goods from a higher realm beyond material existence.
