Described by Acastos, a friend of Plato’s, the riveting debates center on the nature of goodness and faith, told through the voices of history’s most celebrated thinkers. Witty and profound, these debates apply the timeless wisdom of history’s renowned philosophers to the most contentious issues of the modern day. “Art and Eros”: After witnessing a theatrical performance, Socrates and his pupils—Callistos, Acastos, Mantias, Deximenes, and Plato—undertake a quest to uncover the meaning and worth of artistic endeavors. “Above the Gods”: The celebration of a religious festival leads to a lively discussion of the gods and their place in society, as Socrates, along with several of his followers, talk about the morality of religion, wisdom, and righteousness.Πλατωνική φιλοσοφίαΙρλανδική λογοτεχνία (αγγλόφωνη)Ιρλανδικά θεατρικά έργαhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_MurdochURN:ISBN:014008696X49482 |
