Product details

What would the ancient Greek philosopher think of the Google headquarters of the twenty-first century? A fascinating exploration of the role of ancient philosophy in modern life by the celebrated writer and thinker. Imagine Plato coming to life in the twenty-first century and embarking on a multi-city lecture tour. How would he moderate a debate between a Freudian psychoanalyst and a "Tiger Mom" about raising the perfect child? How would he handle a host of a far-right news program who argues that there can be no morality without religion? What would Plato think of Google and the idea that knowledge can be crowdsourced rather than developed by experts? "Plato at the Googleplex" is the intriguing examination of these puzzles by the esteemed thinker Rebecca Newberger Goldstein. With the depth and scholarship of a philosopher and the imagination and wit of a novelist, Goldstein tackles the deepest questions that occupy us.
