<p>The Platonic Quest by E.J. Urwick is a path-breaking interpretation of Plato's Republic that weaves together Socratic-Platonic teachings and classical Indian concepts. Urwick portrays the social structure of the Republic as a holistic vision. Breaking the scholastic interpretations of earlier philologists and later positivists, giving full measure to the profound and puzzling themes of the Republic, Urwick also shows the coherence of the dialogue as a living testament to the human potential for spiritual wisdom. By integrating elements from humanity's ancient heritage, he restores depth and meaning to the Platonic quest while intimating its promise for the future. The book is enriched by an introductory chapter on the Platonic dialectic and an epilogue on anamnesis by Professor Raghavan Iyer.</p>
