This volume tackles both the apparent lack of unity and the
perplexing philosophical content of the Statesman as it explores,
in what is now Plato's second account, subsequent to that of the
Republic, of what would constitute the best society, the role and
nature of the statesman in it; the art of governance of it; the
role and nature of its laws; the role and status of its female
citizens; and how the virtues are interwoven within it, along with
many other topics, including (in a major Myth) that of the origins
of the universe and of humankind. Coming as they do from often
widely differing hermeneutical traditions, the authors in the
volume offer responses to substantive and intriguing questions that
the dialogue raises which are frequently divergent, but by that
very token of much value in any attempt to interpret a complex and
multifaceted work.
