Plato: All That Matters
Trade Paperback
Can we escape Plato's influence?
Dr Ieuan Williams argues that no one can study philosophy or politics without an awareness of Plato, whose work has reverberated through 2500 years of philosophy and history. The product of ten years of research, this book reassesses the relevance of Plato to everything from the philosophy of education to media theory, and demonstrates how Plato and his thinking remains as relevant today as he ever has been.Buy now!

Dr Ieuan Williams has taught about and published on Plato for over twenty years in his role as a senior lecturer at the University of Swansea. He has researched widely on Plato, and particularly on his relevance today - for example, on Plato's philosophy of education (the result of which was a chapter in the bestselling Sage Handbook of the Philosophy of Education) and on the application of Plato to media theory (also resulting in published work).
