Description:

Know thyself, an unexamined life is not worth living, nothing to excess. Most Westerners have heard these expressions and know something about the Golden Age of Greece. Plato lived in the greatest democratic society in the world. He watched as ignorance, lust, pride, greed, delusion, arrogance, and self-absorption led to the collapse of Athens. Plato’s dialogues describe Athens "before the fall," so that future generations will learn from the Athenians’ mistakes and dedicate themselves to living in ways that preserve intellectual and political freedom.
