{"product_id":"plato","title":"Plato","description":"A new reading of Plato's philosophy that reveals it as deeply shaped by his experiences in Athens. Plato is a key figure from the beginnings of Western philosophy, yet the impact of his lived experience on his thought has rarely been explored. Born during a war that would lead to Athens' decline, Plato lived in turbulent times. Carol Atack explores how Plato's life in Athens influenced his thought, how he developed the Socratic dialogue into a powerful philosophical tool, and how he used the institutions of Athenian society to create a compelling imaginative world. Accessibly written, this book shows how Plato made Athens the place where diverse ideas were integrated into a new way of approaching the big questions about our lives, then and now.","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47243945902320,"sku":"9781789149463","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/content_2ebd96b9-690a-49cc-9432-212494813ea9.jpg?v=1740079382","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/plato","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
