This book is the first extended attempt to explain Plato's ethics
of natural law, to place it accurately in the history of moral
theory, and to defend it against the objections that it is
totalitarian. John Daniel Wild provides a clarification and defense
of Plato's ethical doctrine based not only on his analysis of the
dialogues, but on the belief that Plato must be acknowledged as the
founder of the Western natural law philosophy. The book begins with
a presentation of the major objections raised against Plato by
modern authors -Toynbee, Karl Popper, and others who have condemned
the so-called totalitarianism of Plato's thought. Wild answers
these objections point by point with a wealth of evidence taken
from Plato's own arguments. He then presents a historical study of
the ethics of natural law, defining the theory and showing that
Plato held such a theory. The work concludes with a systematic
study of his realistic ethics and its bearing on contemporary
problems.
Contributing Authors Are Harmon M. Chapman, Oliver Martin, Jesse De
Boer, And Many Others.
