A Filosofia de platão

by Will Durant, Maria Theresa Miranda (Tradutor)

The philosophy of Plato is discussed widely in our day in age despite the fact that he wrote his first work over 2000 years ago. His ideas were both captivating and controversial. Many people talk about Plato, but very few have actually read enough to have a clear idea about what he was actually writing about. This long lost work by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Will Durant provides a clear and timeless examination of Plato—suitable for philosophical novice and expert alike. Through Durant’s straightforward yet elegant analysis, complicated and controversial areas of Plato’s writings are thoroughly and simply explained. The contents of this 1922 book were carefully scanned and digitized for availability on electronic readers to ensure that this timeless work remains easily accessible for new generations of knowledge seekers.
