By F. W. Bussell

Book Overview

Plato and the Spirit of Sophistic Subjectivity: Its Causes, Errors, and Justification is a book written by F.W. Bussell. The book is focused on exploring the concept of Sophistic Subjectivity and its relationship with Plato's philosophy. The author delves into the origins of Sophistic Subjectivity, which he believes is rooted in the Sophist movement of ancient Greece. Bussell argues that Sophistic Subjectivity is a flawed way of thinking that prioritizes the individual's subjective experience over objective truth.The book also examines the errors associated with Sophistic Subjectivity, including its tendency to prioritize rhetoric over reason and its tendency to promote relativism. Bussell argues that these errors have led to a decline in critical thinking and a lack of accountability in modern society.Despite its flaws, Bussell argues that Sophistic Subjectivity can be justified in certain circumstances. He suggests that it can be used as a tool for personal growth and self-reflection, as well as a means of promoting empathy and understanding between individuals.Overall, Plato and the Spirit of Sophistic Subjectivity is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex philosophical concept. It offers insights into the origins, errors, and potential justifications of Sophistic Subjectivity, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek philosophy or contemporary debates about subjectivity and truth.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire, by F.
