Résumé
The Philosopher Kings: Platonic Ideals in Modern Governance by Jeremy Riley explores the timeless relevance of Plato's vision of philosopher-kings in the context of modern political systems. Drawing on Plato's Republic, Riley examines the concept of governance by wisdom, where rulers are chosen for their intellectual capacity and moral virtue rather than political popularity or self-interest. The book delves into the challenges of applying Platonic ideals in contemporary society, where democracy, populism, technocracy, and global interconnectedness often complicate the possibility of wise leadership.
Through historical analysis and modern case studies, Riley reflects on the continuing influence of Platonic thought in shaping debates on political authority, expertise, and ethical governance, offering a thought-provoking exploration of how the ideal of philosopher-kings could be reinterpreted in today's fractured world.
