Tradition and Autonomy in Plato's Euthyphro - Hardcover

by Norman J. Fischer (Author)

This comprehension interpretation of Plato's Euthyphro illuminates the necessary tension between tradition and autonomy in human and political life. Norman J. Fischer II argues that the dialogue defends Socrates by revealing the weaknesses of his opponents' understanding of piety and the human soul, implicitly arguing for a Socratic alternative.
