Universally regarded as Platos student in antiquity, it is the eloquent and patriotic orator Demosthenesnot the pro-Macedonian Aristotle who tutored Alexander the Greatwho returned to the dangerous Cave of political life, and thus makes it possible to recover the Old Academy. In Plato and Demosthenes: Recovering the Old Academy, William H. F. Altman explores how Demosthenesalong with Phocion, Lycurgus, and Hyperidesadd external and historical evidence for the hypothesis that Platos brilliant and challenging dialogues constituted the Academys original curriculum. Altman rejects the facile view that the eloquent Plato, a master speech-writer as well as the proponent of the transcendent and post-eudaemonist Idea of the Good, was rhetorics enemy. He shows how Demosthenes acquired the discipline necessary to become a great orator, first by shouting at the sea and then by summoning the Athenians to self-sacrifice in defense of their waning freedom. Demosthenes thus proved Socrates criticism of democracy and the democratic man wrong, just as Plato the Teacher had intended that his best students would, and as he continues to challenge us to do today.
