NEW SKINS FOR OLD WINE

Most books of spirituality are far removed from intellectual rigor, and most books of philosophy are as dry as old bones. This volume seeks to bridge the gap. The author invites his readers to view the modern world through philosophical eyes as he relates Platos words to issues such as friendship, human -rights, education, sexuality, bio-ethics and politics. Platos words are quoted throughout the text, along with those of other thinkers such as Origen, Aquinas, King Charles I of England, Neitzche, Popper, Benedict XVI, and even Voldemort - the villain of the Harry Potter books._,
