Description
Plato's The Statesman is a crucial work for understanding his development of political thinking. While it shares some themes with The Republic, this dialogue also introduces significant changes to Plato's views on knowledge, moral psychology, and the role of law.
This new translation of The Statesman draws on the revised Oxford Text of Plato, making the dialogue accessible to students of political thought in clear and contemporary language. It offers a fresh perspective on the statesman's expertise, both defending and revising central themes from The Republic.
