Description
Plato's Sun-Like Good offers a fresh perspective on the philosopher-rulers and their dialectic in Plato's Republic. Sarah Broadie provides detailed arguments to re-conceptualise central reference-points of Platonism, making them accessible without compromising our understanding of Plato's philosophical greatness.
The book aims to show how the form of the good is of practical value, explore its connection with dialectic, and clarify its relationship with other forms. By doing so, Broadie respects the contours of the sun-good analogy while remaining faithful to the text of the Republic.
