Long understudied, Plato's Laws has been the object of renewed
attention in the past decade and is now considered to be his major
work of political philosophy besides the Republic. In his last
dialogue, Plato returns to the project of describing the foundation
of a just city and sketches in considerable detail its
constitution, laws and other social institutions. Written by
leading Platonists, the essays in this volume cover a wide range of
topics central for understanding the Laws, such as the aim of the
Laws as a whole, the ethical psychology of the Laws, especially its
views of pleasure and non-rational motivations, and whether and, if
so, how the strict law code of the Laws can encourage genuine
virtue. They make an important contribution to ongoing debates and
will open up fresh lines of inquiry for further research.
