About This Book

A new interpretation of Plato's Republic. Craig investigates why this dialogue, ostensibly about justice, offers Plato's fullest account of philosophy and philosophers, and why it is preoccupied with war.

THE 
WAR
LOVER
A
Study
of
Plato's
Republic
The
whale,
like
all
things 
that
are
mighty,
wears
a
false
brow
to 
the

world.
Moby
Dick
Being
a
lover
of 
war 
and 
a
lover
of
wisdom
the
Goddess 
chose
the
place 
that 
would 
bear
men
most 
closely
resembling 
herself,
and
there 
made
her
first
settlement.
Timaeus
24cd
Courageous,
carefree,
scornful, 
violent
- 
so
wisdom 
wants
us:
she 
is 
a
woman
and
loves 
always 
only
a
warrior.
Thus
Spoke
Zarathustra
...
for
they 
loved
the
praise
of 
men
more 
than
the
praise
of
God.
John
12:43
