Since its publication twenty years ago, the first edition of this
work has been the closest thing to a standard book on Plato's
political theory. Like the first edition, this edition of The
Development of Plato's Political Theory provides a clear, scholarly
account of Plato's political theory in the context of the social
and political events of his time, and draws connections between the
development of his political theory and other aspects of his
philosophy, especially his moral psychology. Special attention is
paid to the political nature of Plato's political theory, to how
his lifelong concern with questions of moral and political reform
evolved along with other aspects of his theory, and to both
Socrates' and his own efforts to reform actual cities. This second
edition has been thoroughly revised to take into account scholarly
developments during the last twenty years. Major changes from the
first edition include reworking central aspects of chapters on the
Statesman and Laws and detailed discussion of questions of
interpretation, how Plato's dialogues should be read. Among other
subjects receiving increased attention are Plato's alleged
totalitarianism and racism and the place of the nocturnal council
in the political theory of the Laws.
