Two essays on Plato that were awarded the Francis Bowen Prize by Harvard. The first deals with the problem of the Destiny of Man; the second, with the Individual Life. In addition, there are selected passages from the dialogues of Plato on man and the human soul, newly translated from the ancient Greek. “This book thoughtfully, carefully, and provocatively brings to the reader's attention the very essence of Platonic thought.” 1975. 2nd printing, 1982. 95 pp.
