This translation of Laws is well suited for both students new to Plato and scholars seeking a clear yet thorough rendition. Readers interested in philosophy, political theory, and classical Greek thought will find it particularly valuable.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This is a superb new translation that is remarkably accurate to Plato's very difficult Greek, yet clear and highly readable. The notes are more helpful than those in any other available translation of the Laws since they contain both the information needed by the beginning student as well as analytical notes that include references to the secondary literature for the more advanced reader. For either the beginner or the scholar, this should be the preferred translation.

- Christopher Bobonich, Clarence Irving Lewis Professor of Philosophy, Stanford University
