À propos de cet audio

"Brilliantly confronts one of the great—and urgent—needs of culture: to reveal the often distant power of philosophy through the warm intimacy of a page-turning story.... At last, Plato comes alive in the middle of modern America." (John Armstrong, coauthor of Art as Therapy with Alain de Botton)

A Footnote to Plato takes place in 2012 at a tiny fictional liberal arts college in Vermont.

Philosophy professor Dr. Isaac Fischelson finds himself embroiled in a student drama that leads to a false accusation of sexual harassment and an investigation intended to force him out.

But Isaac refuses to end his career in failure.

Zeb is a promising math student who has resorted to dealing coke to pay for college. He lives on a failed hippie commune with his toxic mother, who seems intent on bankrupting her son, both materially and spiritually.

Zeb tries his best to escape her world, but what he really needs is a bit of luck.

The two meet in the Maintenance Committee and soon form a Socrates-Plato bond. When Zeb offers to help the professor put together an online lecture series, Isaac decides to take him and a small group of students to Greece to film it. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime for Zeb and Isaac’s last chance to save his reputation—and maybe leave behind a legacy.

Tina Lee Forsee studied philosophy at Marlboro College in Vermont and now lives in Tucson, Arizona. She is an associate acquisitions editor at After Dinner Conversation, a magazine dedicated to philosophical short stories.
