Description

Laws by Plato is a philosophical dialogue that explores the ethics of government and law. In this work, three representatives from Athens, Crete, and Sparta engage in a conversation about who should be credited with establishing a civilization's laws. The Athenian speaker dominates the discussion, often praising himself and entertaining a poor opinion of his companions. The Cretan representative is given more space to express his thoughts, while the Spartan is portrayed as a man of few words. This dialogue marks a departure from Plato's earlier works, which were characterized by refined irony and courtesy. Published in 2016, Laws offers insights into the philosophical ideas that have shaped Western thought on politics and law.
