Why Plato Matters Now (2025) by Angie Hobbs argues that Plato’s ideas remain deeply relevant in addressing modern challenges. Angie Hobbs shows how Plato’s dialogues and methods offer insight into democracy, autocracy, fake news, celebrity culture, cancel culture, and economic power. By examining Plato’s views on the good life, justice, love, art, myth-making, friendship, and heroism, Hobbs demonstrates how ancient wisdom can help us live more thoughtfully and ethically in today’s world.

The book also emphasizes Plato’s methods—especially the Socratic dialogue form—and how these enable constructive discussion in a polarized age. Angie Hobbs explores how Plato’s critique of democracy’s vulnerabilities, his concerns about demagoguery, and his reflections on virtue and civic responsibility can inform contemporary debates. Why Plato Matters Now is written clearly for both newcomers to Plato and those familiar with his work, making a compelling case that Plato still matters—now more than ever.
