A Dialogue Across Civilisations: The Polis and the People by Tan Wah-Piow is a short work of political philosophy that stages an imagined conversation between major thinkers from different eras and traditions, including ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, revolutionary German thinker Karl Marx and ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius.
It explores enduring questions about justice, democracy, power and civilisation. BFM unpacks the book with its author.
