Plato and Europe is one of the finest introductions to phenomenology. Its major thesis, however, is an extremely powerful and fascinating argument concerning the specificity and heritage of European thought: that European thought and civilization rests on the Platonic conception of the ' tendance of the soul' ." -- Rodolphe Gasche, State University of New York, Buffalo |
