Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Plato is a key figure from the beginnings of Western philosophy, yet the impact of his lived experience on his thought has rarely been explored. Plato lived in turbulent times, born during a war that led to Athens' defeat and decline. A restored democracy enabled the execution of his teacher Socrates. Carol Atack explores how his life in Athens influenced Plato's thinking, 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 big questions about existence and the societies we create, then and now.'Philosophy is just the beginning in Carol Atack's page-turner. From Plato's own travels and troubles to the strange life and peculiar death of his teacher Socrates, the struggles of his city at the hands of enemies at home and abroad to the efforts of its citizens to make sense of things in an era of unending crisis, this is a gripping account of Classical Athens under siege told through the sharp eyes and shifting ideas of its most notable son.' - Josephine Quinn, author of How the World Made the West: A 4,000-Year History Chronicles Plato's thought through the lens of his turbulent life.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Xenophon of Athens wrote on a variety of subjects, ranging across history and politics (Hellenica, Constitution of the Spartans), biography (Cyropaedia, Agesilaus), leadership and economic advice (Poroi, Hipparchicus, Cynegeticus), memoirs of his own activities (Anabasis) and philosophical dialogue (Hiero), often drawing on his experience of Socrates (Apology, Memorabilia, Oeconomicus, Symposium). This book explores the coherent worldview which underlies these apparently disparate works, starting with his account of the household and moving out through city and army to large-scale imperial power, always framed by his respect for the divine ordering of the cosmos and featuring his distinctive and lively prose style. This book also places Xenophon's thought in its historical context, evaluating how he responded to the work of predecessors and contemporaries, both historians like Thucydides and philosophers like Plato and the other followers of Socrates, making him an important witness to the intellectual life of fourth-century BCE Greece.
