Why do we mourn those we have never known?Why do we get emotional over lost objects?Why do we grieve at all? From Leo Cookman, the author of Time’s Lie: The Narrativisation of Life, Plato’s Remedy is a philosophical exploration into the causes, the purpose and responses to grief in the modern day. With the current global crises forcing us all to grieve in a variety of ways over a variety of things, a better understanding of, and method for navigating, the process of grieving is warranted. This book seeks to be a timely intervention at a period of global mourning, that uses science, art, literature and anecdotal experience to help define a philosophy of grief for a ’Post- Covid’ society.
