Philosopher-Kings of Antiquity 1st edition
Dr William Desmond
One of the most celebrated of Plato's ideas was that if human society was ever to function successfully then philosophers would need to become kings, or kings philosophers. In a perfect state, therefore, philosophic wisdom should be wedded to political power. This volume focuses on Plato and his contemporaries.
