Just Prospering? Plato and the Sophistic Debate about Justice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Just Prospering? explores an important debate about the value of justice in Ancient Greece. Anderson begins with an analysis of the 5th Century BCE sophists and their novel philosophical debates about justice, before turning to Plato's Republic which, he argues, cannot be understood without attending to the sophistic dialogue.
