It explores the fundamental question of whether truth is a prerequisite for attaining freedom and whether a life of liberty necessitates a clear understanding of reality. These profound inquiries lead us back to a classical philosophical debate initiated by Plato, whose profound insights laid the foundation for this exploration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his dialogues, Plato portrays human existence as a peculiar form of imprisonment, advocating for a global liberation of human cognition. This book undertakes a detailed analysis of this ambitious project and its profound influence on the works of two modern authors, Hegel and Nietzsche. These thinkers, in their own unique ways, explicitly linked the concepts of ignorance and truth to those of bondage and freedom—or slavery and mastery. Their philosophies, centered around the liberation of human consciousness, bear witness to the enduring legacy of Plato's vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproaching the subject matter from a historical and systematic perspective, this book appeals to readers with a solid foundation in ancient and modern philosophy, including undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scholars engaged in the study of Plato, German Idealism, Nietzsche, and related fields. By examining the interplay between freedom, knowledge, and the human condition, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of human existence and the pursuit of a liberated and fulfilling life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 498g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030904074\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernardo Ferro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44304006349050,"sku":"9783030904074","price":83.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_bbe5228a-b109-41ac-bcdf-7a1b270a7804.jpg?v=1688020454","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/masters-slaves-and-philosophers-plato-hegel-and-nietzsche-on-freedom-and-the-pursuit-of-knowledge-9783030904074","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
