{"product_id":"plato","title":"Plato","description":"Now in paperback, a new reading of Plato's philosophy that reveals it as deeply shaped by his experiences in Athens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. Born during a war that would lead to Athens' decline, Plato lived in turbulent times. Carol Atack explores how Plato's life in Athens influenced his thought, 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 the big questions about our lives, then and now.","brand":"Reaktion Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57601709277510,"sku":"9781836392057","price":15.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/8611bae265a4d1e48a1221aa414699387008bc215ed43bb82070850e439ed3d5.jpg?v=1792059699","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/plato","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
