Softcover/Paperback. Condition: Fine. 'This reviewer has no doubts that Dr. Cushman has written a controversial book on Plato and in doing so has not only shown impressive familiarity with solid Platonic literature but is also very much at home with all the dialogues and salient passages bearing upon his thesis.'-John P. Anton Ohio Wesleyen University 'Whoever the reader is he willfind a hearty incitement to the articulation of ideas that American thought needs.'-L. W. Norris Saturday Review Although modernity often seems to be crisis-ridden human history shows that every age is beset by problems. These are rooted in the human psyche and derive from man's 'divorce from his ground of Being.' Cushman's superb study of Plato illuminates how a transcendentally open soul deals with the universal resolution of humanity's most basic spiritual disorder. In Therapeia Cushman focuses on Plato's central theme: the soul's search for ultimate fulfillment and salvation from psychological social and political disorders. His detailed analysis begins with the critical importance of Socrates as the ideal of the well-rdered and rightly oriented soul an then considers the essential ontological interdependence of virtue and knowledge. He explores the meaning of anamnesis eros and inner conversion the epistemological value of right belief and its relation to true knowledge and the proper and improper uses of rhetoric so that the soul might finally attain the wisdom that flows from its natural affinity for the Good. Cushman regarded Therapei a as his greatest achievement. It is clear that he inhabited Plato's mind and steeped himself in Plato's thoughts while paying due regard to numerous other commentaries on Plato. His purpose simple in conception but extraordinarily difficult in execution is to communicate an intense awareness of Plato's thought as a living philosophy. One of the most profound and luminous books about Plato this book will be of interest to philosophers philosophy students graduate and undergraduate and anyone interested in philosophy in general and/or Plato in particular.
