Sumario: | Rapp begins with a question posed by poet Theodore Roethke: 'should we say that the self, once perceived, becomes a soul?'. Through her examination of Plato's Phaedrus and her insights about the place of forgetting in a life, Rapp answers Roethke's query with a resounding 'yes'. In so doing, Rapp offers a re-imagined view onto the Phaedrus, a recast interpretation of Plato's relevance to contemporary life, and an innovative account of forgetting as a fertile fragility constitutive of humanity. |
