What We Are Reading Today reviews Plato’s Fable: On the Mortal Condition in Shadowy Times, by Joshua Mitchell, at Arab Times.
"This book is an exploration of Plato’s Republic that bypasses arcane scholarly debates. Plato’s Fable provides refreshing insight into what, in Plato’s view, is the central problem of life: The mortal propensity to adopt defective ways of answering the question of how to live well."
See Plato, Dialogues, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 7, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 6.
