Refreshing and Insightful This brilliant composition should be required reading for anyone wishing to actually comprehend Platonic thought (beyond the watered down version of what most liberal arts institutions would have you believe Plato is all about). Moes' reading of the pervasive use of cathartic undertones in all of the dialogues is well-reasoned and exceptionally supported by a careful reading of the original text. Much like Plato's primary interlocuter, thoughtful reflection of this new and refreshing interpretation of these influential and enduring classics may lead the reader to a psychological healing of the most commonly accepted, though misguided, tenets of Platonic philosophical thought. | ||
