Title: Plato's Rivalry with Medicine
Description: Susan B. Levin argues that Plato's engagement with medicine is richer than previously recognised and that he views it as an important rival for authority on nature and flourishing. She further shows that Plato's work, particularly the 'Laws', holds significant promise for bioethics that has so far been nearly untapped.
