Gender and Rhetoric in Plato's Thought explores the relation
between Plato's Republic and Laws on the set of issues that the
Laws itself marks out as fundamental to the comparison: the unity
of the virtues, the role of women, and the place of the family.
Plato aims to persuade men to abandon the view of the good life
that Greek cities and their laws inculcate as the only life worth
living for those who would be real men and not effeminate
weaklings. What we can learn about Plato is the importance for him
of understanding the nature of persuasion in order to come to terms
with gender justice and the apparent plurality of human goods. What
we learn from Plato is that to tackle the issues that arise in our
new political community of men and women we must comprehend the
proper bases and limits of persuasion.
