"Laws" is one of the last dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is a lengthy and comprehensive exploration of the role that law and legislation play in the lives of individuals and communities. Unlike his other dialogues, Plato himself speaks in "Laws" instead of using characters like Socrates. The dialogue takes place between three characters: an Athenian stranger, a Spartan named Megillus, and a Cretan named Clinias, who discuss laws, politics, and the nature of justice while on a pilgrimage to the cave of Zeus in Crete. Throughout the dialogue, the Athenian stranger elaborates on the ideal laws that would govern a perfect city-state, touching on a wide range of topics including education, family, property, and the nature of the soul.

Long understudied, Plato's Laws has been the object of renewed attention in the past decade and is now considered to be his major work of political philosophy besides the Republic. In his last dialogue, Plato returns to the project of describing the foundation of a just city and sketches in considerable detail its constitution, laws and other social institutions. Written by leading Platonists, the essays in this volume cover a wide range of topics central for understanding the Laws, such as the aim of the Laws as a whole, the ethical psychology of the Laws, especially its views of pleasure and non-rational motivations, and whether and, if so, how the strict law code of the Laws can encourage genuine virtue. They make an important contribution to ongoing debates and will open up fresh lines of inquiry for further research.

In the Laws, Plato describes in fascinating detail a comprehensive system of legislation in a small agricultural utopia he named Magnesia. His laws not only govern crime and punishment, but also form a code of conduct for all aspects of life in his ideal state - from education, sport and religion to sexual behaviour, marriage and drinking parties. Plato sets out a plan for the day-to-day rule of Magnesia, administered by citizens and elected officials, with supreme power held by a Council. Although Plato's views that citizens should act in complete obedience to the law have been read as totalitarian, the Laws nonetheless constitutes a highly impressive programme for the reform of society and provides a crucial insight into the mind of one of Classical Greece's foremost thinkers.

The Laws is Plato's last, longest, and perhaps, most famous work. It presents a conversation on political philosophy between three elderly men: an unnamed Athenian, a Spartan named Megillus, and a Cretan named Clinias. They worked to create a constitution for Magnesia, a new Cretan colony that would make all of its citizens happy and virtuous. In this work, Plato combines political philosophy with applied legislation, going into great detail concerning what laws and procedures should be in the state. For example, they consider whether drunkenness should be allowed in the city, how citizens should hunt, and how to punish suicide. The principles of this book have entered the legislation of many modern countries and provoke a great interest of philosophers even in the 21st century.

The genuineness of the Laws is sufficiently proved by more than twenty citations of them in the writings of Aristotle, who was residing at Athens during the last twenty years of the life of Plato, and who, having left it after his death (B.C. 347), returned thither twelve years later (B.C. 335); by the allusion of Isocrates

The Laws by Plato are the final and lengthiest dialogue written by the renowned Ancient Greek philosopher. Considered something of a magnum opus by scholars of classical philosophy, in this book Plato sets out the principles of legal theory, and how each principle comes to be applied in civilized, organized society. The lengthy text is divided into twelve distinct books, with a variety of legal topics discussed in considerable depth in every one. Unusually for a Platonic dialogue, the character of Socrates - who in life was one of Plato's mentors in philosophy - is not present. Instead, the conversations take place between a Greek citizen, a Spartan named Megillos, and a Cretan politician and legal scholar by the name of Clinias. The definition of law is already assumed at the beginning, with the three characters instead preoccupied with who is responsible for its creation and development in a given society. The dialogue proceeds to discuss and detail the purpose of law in everyday realms of existence, from how it is related to art, religion or philosophy. The essential role of law in education, be that of music, drama or otherwise, is also given due discourse. Finally, Plato discusses the notion of natural law and whether there are rights which can be taken as natural. Translated by Oxford scholar and prolific translator Benjamin Jowett, this edition of Plato's Laws is perfect for those wishing to benefit from the insights of the Platonic dialogues at a low cost.

"The articles in this volume are a selection of the papers presented at the Sixth Symposium Platonicum of the International Plato Society, under the auspices of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and of the Faculty of Humanities of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. They reflect the breadth of topics and the range of problems present in Plato's Laws : problems of editing and literary form, rhetoric and style, Homeric quotations ; the Socratic influence ; soul and motion ; pleasure, virtue and happiness, ethics and education, gender ; public offices, economics, and philosophy of history ; political philosophy and religion. Addressed are also the historical and literary contexts of the Laws and its later repercussions."--taken from back cover.

Plato's Cretan City is a thorough investigation into the roots of Plato's Laws and a compelling explication of his ideas on legislation and social institutions. A dialogue among three travelers, the Laws proposes a detailed plan for administering a new colony on the island of Crete. In examining this dialogue, Glenn Morrow describes the contemporary Greek institutions in Athens, Crete, and Sparta on which Plato based his model city, and explores the philosopher's proposed regulations concerning property, the family, government, and the administration of justice, education, and religion. He approaches the Laws as both a living document of reform and a philosophical inquiry into humankind's highest earthly duty.
