Plato and the Mythic Tradition in Political Thought
Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press (2020)
Abstract
Plato's penchant for mythmaking sits uneasily beside his reputation as the inventor of rationalist philosophy. Hegel's solution was to ignore the myths. Popper thought them disqualifying. Tae-Yeoun Keum responds by carving out a place for myth in the context of rationalism and shows how Plato's tales inspired history's great political thinkers.Author's Profile
