Viac o knihe

Exploring the role of imagination in Plato's works, this book presents a fresh interpretation that highlights its significance in the dialogue between poetry and philosophy. It argues against traditional views that dismiss the arts, suggesting instead that imagination plays a crucial role in praxis within Plato's dialogues, revealing deeper insights into his philosophy. This perspective challenges the notion that poetry and the arts are merely inferior or extraneous elements in his thought.
