More about the book
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. schovat popis
