11.75 in tall, 4.15 in long, 3.5 in deep
Cold Cast Resin
Makes A Great Gift
Plato is one of the most dazzling writers in the Western literary tradition and one of the most penetrating, wide-ranging, and influential authors in the history of philosophy. An Athenian citizen of high status, he displays in his works his absorption in the political events and intellectual movements of his time, but the questions he raises are so profound and the strategies he uses for tackling them so richly suggestive and provocative that educated readers of nearly every period have in some way been influenced by him, and in practically every age there have been philosophers who count themselves Platonists in some important respects. This beautiful cold cast resin statue of Plato features a wonderful metallic bronze finish, and has hand-painted accents to show off the detail. A pensive Plato is shown holding a book on The Republic, contemplating on the problems of society. The base that Socrates stands on features Socratic quotes on all sides. The statue measures 11 3/4 inches tall, 4 1/8 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches deep. It makes a great gift for deep-thinkers.
