Why Plato Wrote - Blackwell-Bristol Lectures on Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition
Allen, Danielle S. (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA)
In this thought-provoking text Danielle Allen eloquently argues that Plato wrote to change Athenian culture and thereby transform Athenian politics. She makes the case that Plato was not only the world's first systematic political philosopher, but also the western world's first think-tank activist and message man.
