The Argument and the Action of Plato's 'Laws'

5/5 ( ratings)

The Laws, the longest and one of the last of Plato's dialogues, has been regarded as a major change from his earlier political writings. Those who have held this view see the Laws as the work of a disenchanted old man.

In this fresh reading, Leo Strauss places the Laws in an orderly rather than an anomalous relation to Platonic political philosophy. Strauss, in what proved to be his own final work, provides an intensive book-by-book examination of the text and a general interpretation of the Laws within the Platonic corpus.

The Argument and the Action of Plato's 'Laws' was completed in 1971, two years prior to the death of Leo Strauss in 1973. It was not published until after Strauss' death.
