No human life expresses the full human potential, declares Atkinson, unless it contains to some significant degree the search for moral truth and the acquisition of moral knowledge. He challenges widely held beliefs that there is no moral truth and that no human is defective, drawing on the work ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. Among his topics are Meno, knowledge, and truth; Georgias, Apology, and ignorance; Phaedo, Meno, Apology, and reason; Georgias, Republic, and the ethics of the cosmos; Republic and the four forms of injustice; and the desires of the good dialectician.
