For Russon, Plato's work is about the distinctive nature of what it is to be a human being and, correspondingly, what is distinctive about the nature of human society. Russon focuses on the realities of our everyday experience to come to profoundly insightful assessments of our human realities: the nature of the city, the nature of knowledge, and the nature of human psychology. Russon's argument concentrates on the ambivalence of logos, which includes reflections on politics and philosophy and their place in human life, how humans have shaped the environment, our interactions with money, the economy, and taking account, and the pursuit of the good in social and political systems. Politics, Money, and Persuasion offers a deeply personal but also practical kind of philosophical reading of Plato's classic text. It emphasizes the tight connection between the life of city and the life of the soul, demonstrating both the crucial role that human cognitive excellence and psychological health play in political and social life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Plato $x Political and social views. 600 00 $a Plato. $t Republic. 600 07 $a Plato. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00046610 630 07 $a Republic (Plato) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356306 650 0 $a Political science $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Democracy. 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Political science $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069819 776 08 $i Online version: $a Russon, John, 1960- $t Politics, money, and persuasion $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, 2021 $z 9780253057693 $w (DLC) 2021010394 830 0 $a Studies in Continental thought. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018022909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B824B472A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
