The Narrow Passage
Plato, Foucault, and the Possibility of Political Philosophy
Book •
Glenn Elmers' 'The Narrow Passage' examines the tension between ancient and modern understandings of political philosophy by juxtaposing Plato and Michel Foucault.
The book investigates whether authentic political philosophy remains possible amid modern critiques and historicist pressures.
Elmers analyzes core texts to show how classical approaches can still inform contemporary political thought and resist relativistic trends.
He argues for a recovered space for normative political inquiry grounded in human nature and philosophical tradition.
The work bridges historical exegesis and contemporary theoretical concerns to defend the relevance of classical political wisdom.
