In this second book of the series, after Coffee with Socrates, Thanasis Lalas meets Plato at his Academy, the first university in history. With his signature style—simple, direct, and rich in substance— Lalas brings Plato’s political thinking to life. He exposes his vision of a just and ideal state, built on merit, collective well-being, and the pursuit of the common good. A conversation more relevant than ever, helping us revisit the foundations of political thought and our responsibilities within the civic sphere.
