Description
The Laws by Plato is a comprehensive system of legislation for an ideal state, outlining laws and codes of conduct for all aspects of life. In this work, Plato describes his vision for Magnesia, a utopia governed by citizens and elected officials, with supreme power held by a Council. Plato's ideas on law and governance are presented in fascinating detail, covering topics such as education, sport, religion, and social behaviour. This book provides valuable insights into the mind of one of Classical Greece's foremost thinkers and offers a thought-provoking exploration of how society can be reformed. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features an authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
