Once interpreted as a revolutionary of the left, and a prophet of Socialism, Plato has been interpreted as a revolutionary of the Right and a forerunner of Fascism. This book features Plato who appears as himself - a revolutionary of the pure idea of the Good, and an authoritarian of the pure reason, unattached either to the Right or the Left.
