The Politics of Sincerity - Plato, Frank Speech, and Democratic Judgment

Über den Autor / die Autorin

Elizabeth Markovits is Assistant Professor of Politics at Mount Holyoke College.

Zusammenfassung

Argues that the search for sincerity in the public arena actually constitutes a dangerous distraction from more important concerns, including factual truth and the ethical import of political statements. This title shows Plato to have an appreciation for rhetoric rather than a desire to purge it from public life.
