Books by John Daniel Wild

?Brilliant and provocative . . . his chapters in sheer exposition of this philosophy are among the most vigorous and sensitive that have appeared in English.?-Saturday Review

The first extended attempt to explain Plato's ethics of natural law, to place it accurately in the history of moral theory, and to defend it against the objections that it is totalitarian. Wild provides a clarification of Plato's ethical doctrine and a defense of that doctrine. This is a reprint of the 1953 Chicago edition.
