"It had been thought that the Cleitophon was a spurious dialogue. Its brevity and the fact that Socrates does not respond to accusations from Cleitophon suggested to scholars that the dialogue was only a fragment. However, within the last fifteen years, a greater appreciation has been developing for the complete and authentic dialogue. During this renewed discovery, scholars have almost universally agreed that the Cleitophon is the introduction to Plato's Republic." "In Plato's Cleitophon: On Socrates and the Modern Mind, editor, translator, and author Mark Kremer has mined some of the best scholarship on Plato's Cleitophon and its relationship to modern thought. Kremer contends that the Cleitophon is an ancient example of the psychic, social, cultural, and moral strain put upon the citizens of a republic when their society ultimately begins to erode. This analysis has the potential to afford readers an ancient perspective on themselves by showing how they appear in Plato's mind. It is intended for anyone who has ever read Plato's Republic, as well as anyone who is concerned about the social, psychic, cultural, and moral effects of postmodernity and globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
