Politics of the Soul in the Alcibiades
«“This is an exceptional book. James M. Magrini combines original scholarship with an innovative reading of Plato’s dialogue, which develops into a study that highlights and, importantly, recuperates the importance of the Alcibiades for reflections on ethics, justice, and self-cultivation. By conducting a stringent analysis of Plato’s Alcibiades in terms of politics, power, ethics, and their inter-relationship, Magrini uncovers the striking actuality of the dialogue in today’s political climate. I strongly recommend Magrini’s text to scholars and students alike within the Humanities and the Social Sciences.”—Elias Schwieler, Professor, Stockholm University»
