The Third City, first published in 1982, offers an innovative
response to the troubled relationship between Western philosophy,
as it has been conducted since the Renaissance, and the everyday
lives of the communities in which we live. Bebek contends that the
model of philosophical reflection is to be found in Plato's
dialogues, which, rather than simply describing utopia through a
series of abstract 'concepts', were instead designed to impel the
learner towards a recognition of the true nature of reality - as
much a 'self-recognition' as an understanding of the world 'out
there'. Thus, in order to revive the spirit of true philosophy, it
is necessary to avoid both the false extremes of idealism and
materialism, and to allow ethics once more to merge with
epistemology. This title presents an exposition of this ethically
based philosophy, allowing the very human insights of Plato to
illumine the diverse problems of today.
