Platonic philosophy has profoundly shaped Western thought, offering a rich tapestry of concepts for understanding reality, knowledge, and human condition. However, despite its influence, Platonic thought is marked by significant fractures and tensions, including the relationship between sensory experience and abstract Forms, the nature of knowledge, and the role of the philosopher-king. This book seeks to critically explore these tensions and contradictions, shedding new light on the complexities and challenges of Platonic philosophy.
