Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"After Two Thousand Years" is a profound and engaging philosophical exploration structured as a dialogue between the ancient Greek philosopher Plato and a representative of the modern era. Set in a timeless landscape, the conversation bridges the gap of twenty centuries to examine the persistent challenges of human civilization, including the nature of justice, the pursuit of truth, and the structural foundations of society.The work delves into the contrasts between classical idealism and contemporary social realities, addressing complex topics such as war, property, and the role of the individual within the state. Through this intellectual exchange, G. Lowes Dickinson invites readers to reconsider the relevance of Platonic thought in addressing the complexities of the modern world. The dialogue serves as both a critique of modern life and a testament to the enduring power of philosophical inquiry. By juxtaposing the wisdom of antiquity with the concerns of modernity, "After Two Thousand Years" offers a compelling meditation on ethics, politics, and the possibility of human progress. This masterpiece of social philosophy remains an essential read for those interested in the intersections of classical thought and modern political theory.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
