The Republic is the quintessential Platonic dialogue concerning justice and politics. This great ten book work ends with the Myth of Er. This myth has been the source of controversy throughout history. Some claim Plato wrote it, while others claim it is a forgery. Still others claim it is a lost story saved in the annals of history only by Plato. In response to the limited scholarship about Er , Mr. Cjysovalantis Petridis undertook a painstaking analysis of both the Republic and Er in an attempt to put to rest any debate concerning them. Not only is the myth of Er crucial for understanding the Republic but it also is key for understanding Plato’s project in this dialogue. Without the myth, the ideas Plato wanted to impart in this text cannot be fully understood..
Er means spring in Ancient Greek and the Republic contains the secret teachings concerning the dawn of Socratic Philosophy: It heralds a new way of thinking. Socratic philosophy has influenced religion, politics and society ever since. Philosophy has come to mean Socratic philosophy especially for all who subscribe to Plato's way of thinking. The Socratic method is considered the back bone of contemporary education and Plato’s Academy the forerunner of current education. Mr. Petridis’ book, Plato’s Mythologising the Myth of Err exposes the themes and ideas brought to life in the myth of Er. The Republic is of political, social and religious importance and has influenced every way of thinking and discipline since its conception. One cannot fully understand the impact of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle without it. Thus, Mr. Petridis’ book may be one of the most important texts written this century concerning Plato’s works. It is a must read for anyone that desires to know Plato or Socrates and understand why their influence has changed and shaped the world ever since.
