The Laws
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
The Laws stands as Plato's longest and most practically oriented dialogue, presenting a comprehensive blueprint for the governance of a new Greek colony called Magnesia. Written in the final years of his life, this landmark work of political philosophy argues for a mixed constitution grounded in virtue, reason, and divine order — a striking departure from the idealism of The Republic. Through the voice of an unnamed Athenian Stranger, Plato details the legal, educational, religious, and social structures he believed necessary for a just and stable society. Accessible yet profound, it remains an indispensable text for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Western political thought and the ancient Greek vision of the ideal state.
