A Socratic Curriculum Grounded in Finite Human Transcendence

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bridging the gap between interpretations of "Third Way" Platonic scholarship in Continental philosophy and "phenomenological-ontological" scholarship, this book offers a re-reading of Plato and Plato's Socrates in terms of interpreting the practice of education as "care of the soul" thorugh the conceptual lenses of phenomenology, philosophical hermeneutics, and ontological inquiry.
