Catherine Zuckert examines the work of five key philosophical figures
from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through the lens of their
own decidedly postmodern readings of Plato. She argues that Nietzsche,
Heidegger, Gadamer, Strauss, and Derrida, convinced that modern
rationalism had exhausted its possibilities, all turned to Plato in
order to rediscover the original character of philosophy and to
reconceive the Western tradition as a whole. Zuckert's artful
juxtaposition of these seemingly disparate bodies of thought furnishes a
synoptic view, not merely of these individual thinkers, but of the
broad postmodern landscape as well. The result is a brilliantly
conceived work that offers an innovative perspective on the relation
between the Western philosophical tradition and the evolving postmodern
enterprise.
