Description: London: Duckworth, 1991. 0715623958. 1st British edition. "This book offers a bold new interpretation of the Republic and the Laws..Plato's political and moral philosophy, the author argues, is founded on an understanding of phronesis, or prudence, in the Aristotelian sense. Using techniques of textual commentary developed by Leo Strauss and Stanley Rosen and the Platonic scholarship of Eric Voegelin and Hans-Georg Gadamer, he asserts that the literary form of the dialogues is based, to a great extent, upon Plato's systematic use of Homeric imagery and symbolism.."
