Where the Argument Led: Being an Alternative, Briefer (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges a foundational dialogue by Plato (427-348 BC), which sought to establish the absolute nature of Right Conduct. It is Plato's Republic that this book takes as its subject. Drawing on a previously undiscovered manuscript, this book presents an alternative account of an evening and night at Kephalus's house, which is at odds with Plato's. The author demonstrates how Plato's account is flawed in its argumentation, leading to paradoxical conclusions about what constitutes 'Right'. The author ultimately argues that Plato's approach is flawed because it denies the existence of a dim, rough-and-ready, inaccurate, but extremely useful sense of Right and Wrong that all men possess. This book will appeal to lovers of philosophy and those interested in probing Plato's philosophy to its limits. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
