Benardete's philosophic reading of the poets and his poetic reading of the philosophers share a common ground, guided by the key he found in the Platonic dialogue: probing the meaning of speeches embedded in deeds, he uncovers the unifying intention of the work by tracing the way it unfolds through a movement of its own. Benardete's original interpretations of the classics are the fruit of this discovery of the \"argument of the action.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Benardete\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226826431","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710520660105,"sku":"9780226826431","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_09e948ee-5362-41f2-a645-76774dc43b36.jpg?v=1719537676","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-argument-of-the-action-essays-on-greek-poetry-and-philosophy-9780226826431","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
