{"product_id":"platos-modern-enemies-and-the-john-daniel-wild-9783868385830","title":"Plato's Modern Enemies and the Theory of Natural Law","description":"This book is the first extended attempt to explain Plato's ethics of natural law, to place it accurately in the history of moral theory, and to defend it against the objections that it is totalitarian. Wild provides a clarification of Plato's ethical doctrine and a defense of that doctrine based not only of his analysis of the dialogues but on the belief that Plato must acknowledged as the founder of the Western tradition of the philosophy of natural law. The book begins with a presentation of the major objections raised against Plato by modern authors, Toynbee, Karl Popper and others, who have condemned the so called totalitarianism of Plato's thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWild answers these objections point by point and with a wealth of evidence taken from Plato's own arguments. He then presents a historical study of the ethics of natural law, defining the theory and showing through an examination of relevant dialogues that Plato held such a theory. The work concludes with a systematic study of his realistic ethics and its bearing on contemporary problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a reprint of the 1953 Chicago edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Daniel Wild\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3868385835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783868385830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Editiones Scholasticae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"John Daniel Wild","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465554022655,"sku":"9783868385830","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f763ce91-f884-470f-9ff4-dc4443e9d41c.jpg?v=1736346590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/platos-modern-enemies-and-the-john-daniel-wild-9783868385830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
