Heidegger and Plato: Toward Dialogue

European and North American scholars explore issues raised in 20th-century German philosopher Martin Heidegger's treatment of Plato, more through his appropriation of the ancient Greek's ideas than through his explicit references, which are few. Among the topics are Heidegger's two readings of Antigone, the Platonic concept of truth, and the history of philosophy. No index is provided. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
