Book description
The newest deluxe edition in the bestselling Capstone Classics Series
This ancient classic has had a make-over. In recent years these
Capstone Classic deluxe editions have caught the book buying public's
imagination. The volumes of international bestsellers such as Think
and Grow Rich and The Art of War have quickly become the market
leaders. Now Plato's best known work, one of the most intellectually
and historically influential works of philosophy and political theory,
has been brought to life in this luxury, hardback, keep-sake edition.
This edition includes:
- Plato's plans for a perfect society characterised by a blend of
wisdom, courage, self-discipline and justice
- Lessons to learn about living according to eternal truths,
instead of existing simply for survival and pleasure
- A new introduction by Tom Butler Bowdon, the classic personal
development expert
Plato was a classical Greek philosopher, mathematician, student
of Socrates, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the
Academy in Athens. Along with Socrates and Aristotle, Plata helped to
lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.
Tom Butler-Bowdon is the author of five bestselling books on
classic self-help and motivational writing. He has been described by
USA Today as 'a true scholar of this type of literature'. Tom
has also written introductions to the other editions in the Capstone
Classics series.
