Plato is certainly the philosopher who has most influenced the way we think. Even today, many of the ideas we have, for example about love, originate from him. It is not surprising that often, when we talk about the history of thought, we hear that "Plato has already said it all," as within his dialogues he explored every corner of the human soul and the problems we face, which are essentially always the same. Allan Percy has gathered in this excellent book eighty principles, eighty lessons, which are practical teachings, small diamonds capable of guiding our steps on the path of life.
