As Hegel famously noted, the goddess Minerva's owl brought back wisdom only at dusk, when it was too late to shine light on actual politics. Abramson provides a guide for discovering the tradition of political thought that dates back to Socrates and Plato, with contemporary examples that illustrate the enduring nature of political dilemmas.
