In the first two chapters, Davis shows that it is possible to return to and take seriously Platos treatment of the problem, and the third chapter presents Platos solution. This book is distinctive in that it shows that a problem that has been thought to be present throughout the history of Western thought was in fact solved by Plato, and that we can return to his solution from our contemporary situation. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 133 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 May 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer International Publishing AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor over two and a half millennia, the concept of relativism, which posits that each individual's perceptions and beliefs are inherently valid and that any viewpoint holds equal truth value, has posed a persistent challenge to philosophy and science. In contemporary times, the prevalence of relativism has intensified, making this problem more complex than ever before. This book presents a compelling argument that Plato, centuries ago, effectively resolved this intricate conundrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first two chapters, Davis delves into the works of Husserl and Locke to establish the groundwork for his thesis. Through a meticulous analysis, he demonstrates that it is feasible to revisit and embrace Plato's original treatment of this problem. The third chapter presents Plato's groundbreaking solution, offering a fresh perspective on the matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat sets this book apart is its unique revelation that a problem that has been perceived as prevalent throughout the history of Western thought was, in fact, resolved by Plato. Moreover, it provides us with the means to revisit and apply Plato's solution to our contemporary circumstances, offering a path forward for understanding and navigating the complexities of our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his meticulous research and insightful analysis, Davis has crafted a thought-provoking work that challenges our preconceived notions and invites us to reevaluate our understanding of truth and reality. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of philosophy and provides a valuable resource for scholars and thinkers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 327g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031223037\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew K.
