{"product_id":"plato-the-myth-maker-luc-brisson-9780226075198","title":"Plato the Myth Maker","description":"The word myth is commonly thought to mean a fictional story, but few know that Plato was the first to use the term \u003ci\u003emuthos\u003c\/i\u003e in that sense. He also used \u003ci\u003emuthos\u003c\/i\u003e to describe the practice of making and telling stories, the oral transmission of all that a community keeps in its collective memory. In the first part of \u003ci\u003ePlato the Myth Maker\u003c\/i\u003e, Luc Brisson reconstructs Plato's multifaceted description of \u003ci\u003emuthos\u003c\/i\u003e in light of the latter's Atlantis story. The second part of the book contrasts this sense of myth with another form of speech that Plato believed was far superior: the \u003ci\u003elogos\u003c\/i\u003e of philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luc Brisson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226075192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226075198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Luc Brisson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075970167039,"sku":"9780226075198","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc528bd1-e525-4b00-8f83-6e240ca5c614.jpg?v=1685462462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plato-the-myth-maker-luc-brisson-9780226075198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
