25Of Myth, Life, and War in Plato’s Republic (review)Review of Metaphysics 57 (3): 601-603. 2004.She presents Plato as alarmed by the mimetic potency of his mythic text, and driven to apologize for it, but without recanting either the text or the apology. He apologizes for the perils of text as he regenerates it. She invites us to listen with premodern ears to the Republic’s text through its echos in her postmodern sensibility.
