Plato's Fable On The Mortal Condition In Shadowy Times

"This book represents a singularly original, provocative, and profound interpretation of "Plato's Republic," Moreover, it poses a fundamental challenge to contemporary assumptions about the mutability of human nature. A tour de force."--Patrick Deneen, Georgetown University"Mitchell encourages us to read a very familiar text in a new light. His book is rare in that it neither places itself in a particular camp of scholarship, nor ignores the thinking of others. I know of no other book like this one."--Jean Bethke Elshtain, the University of ChicagoMitchell, Joshua is the author of 'Plato's Fable On The Mortal Condition In Shadowy Times', published 2006 under ISBN 9780691124384 and ISBN 0691124388.
