Download or read book The Tragedy of Reason written by David Roochnik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1991. This book attempts to defend a conception of reason—or to use the Greek word "logos"—that I contend can be extracted from the dialogues of Plato. The very notion of defending Plato may seem strange. Why would a philosopher enshrined for centuries as "classic" need a defense? A defense against whom and what charge? What does it mean to defend an author so long dead? Can he somehow be revived? In other words, what significance can a defense of Plato possibly attain for a contemporary audience?
