The Myth of the 20th Century: Plato – After Dark

Philosophy is a subject many engage in casually during parties, pillow chat – or even podcasts. But philosophy as a discipline is a field reserved for those serious – or fortunate enough – to have the time to dedicate to it. Usually concerning the more fundamental questions of existence and society, in the most basic sense philosophy is leading an examined life. In the the case of Plato, questions of good governance – for the good of the people if not by the people – make him one of the more controversial figures in the modern era. Yet his legacy, and the critical questions of how best to rule one’s society – have yet to be convincingly countered by his critics.
