Plato the Myth Maker

About Plato the Myth Maker

In this text, Luc Brisson reconstructs Plato's multifaceted and not uncritical description of "muthos" in light of the latter's famous Atlantis story. He also contrasts this sense of myth, as Plato does, with another form of speech which he believed was far superior: the "logos" of philosophy.
