The Crane's Walk

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of pluralism, the author argues that conflicting truths can coexist without diminishing each other's validity. Drawing on Plato's work, he suggests that apparent flaws in his theory of Ideas were intentionally showcased to highlight essential dimensions of truth. The book emphasizes the significance of nonargumentative elements in Plato's dialogues, such as myths and humor, as tools for examining rational discourse. By advocating for a coexistence of absolute and relative truths, it offers insights into resolving contemporary societal conflicts rooted in differing beliefs.
