Platons tanzende Stadt
Ausgezeichnet mit dem Conrado Eggers Lan Prize der International Plato Society 2022.
Why is choral dance (???e?a) so prominent in Plato’s Laws? In answer to this question, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the dialogue’s moral psychology, arguing that dance is not only an educational instrument but also, in terms of the physical expression of ordered pleasure, a symbolic image of the principal goal of moral education: moderation (s?f??s???). Thus, choral dance becomes a powerful construct to illustrate Plato’s main philosophical concerns. Other key features of the book include an innovative account of the dialogue’s complex composition, new interpretations of the puppet image and the tragedy claim, and the first chapter-length investigation of the moral funtion of shame.
Winner of the Conrado Eggers Lan Prize of the International Plato Society 2022.
