Plato was born around 2,500 years ago. He lived in a small
city-state in Greece and busied himself with the problems of his
fellow Greeks, a people living in scattered cities around the
Mediterranean and the Black Sea. In all he tried to do for the
Greeks he failed. Why, then, should people in the modern world
bother to read what he had to say? Does it make sense to go to a
Greek thinker for advice on the problems of an age so different
from his own? To anyone who has questioned the relevance of Plato
to the modern world Richard Crossman's lively book provides a
brilliant reply. The problems facing Plato's world bear striking
parallels to ours today, the author maintains, so who better to
turn to than Plato, the most objective and most ruthless observer
of the failures of Greek society. Crossman's engaging text provides
both an informed introduction to Greek ideas and an original and
controversial view of Plato himself.
