- **Event Description**: Angie Hobbs on her latest book, 'Why Plato Matters Now' in conversation with Irish Times columnist Joe Humphreys.About this EventAngie Hobbs: a Dialogue with PlatoIn Conversation event: Angie Hobbs and Joe Humphreys.Author, classicist and broadcaster Angie Hobbs champions the public understanding of ancient philosophy in all of her work. Her latest book, Why Plato Matters Now, explores with brilliant clarity the Athenian philosopher Plato’s thinking about abuses of political power and how public life and community can flourish. Her book shows how closely his ideas are intertwined with his own eventful life and times in the Fifth Century BC. The bitter 27-year civil war between Athens and Sparta, the Peloponnesian War, brought plague, famine and ultimately defeat to Athens, influencing Plato to seek social harmony and peaceful co-existence as overarching goals.Each chapter connects Plato’s arguments to current debates and asks how Plato’s adaptation of the methods of his mentor, Socrates, and use of the dramatic dialogue form can enable us to deal more constructively with contested issues in culture, politics and religion today.Angie Hobbs will be in conversation with author and Irish Times journalist, Joe Humphreys, whose stimulating weekly column, ‘Unthinkable’, explores the application of philosophy in our public and personal lives. Daisy Dunn on Why Plato Matters Now:‘The definitive guide to Plato and his place in the modern world, written with all the passion, insight and clarity he deserves.’
