| Summary: | "Power is one of the most important concepts in contemporary philosophy and one of the most enigmatic realities in human life. What is power? Is power the capacity of doing certain things without impediments, or rather the organization of forces toward one direction? The aim of this volume is to explore the relationship that Plato establishes between power and rationality and to analyze some of the problems arising in the contemporary comprehension of power. Plato’s cultural debate, although far in time, has many similarities with the contemporary context. The book explores what Plato says about power in order to offer a new way of understanding its relation with knowledge and rationality" (Aracne) |
