Platos Stranger: An Essay - Rodolphe Gasch Book
Meditation on the character of the Eleatic Stranger in Platos late dialogues, arguing that the prominent place afforded to this foreigner-the other-represents an important philosophical and political legacy regarding the way thought, and life in the community, is understood.
P>Review "In addition to offering solid and largely compelling interpretations of the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Statesman, Gasch presents us with an intriguing argument that both philosophy and politics, even for Plato, requires an Auseinandersetzung with the other in order to ground itself and allow its movement toward its own self-flourishing. Gasch provides a fascinating and provocative argument that a xenological thinking-a philosophy of Otherness-is located within Platos thought." - S.
