Ancient philosophy is no longer an isolated discipline. Recent
years have seen the development of a dialogue between ancient and
contemporary philosophers writing on central issues in moral and
political philosophy. The renewed interest in character and virtue
as ethical concepts is one such issue, yet Plato's contribution has
been largely neglected in contemporary virtue ethics. In Plato on
Virtue and the Law, Sandrine Berges seeks to address this gap in
the literature by exploring the contribution that virtue ethics
make to the understanding of laws alongside the interesting and
plausible insights into current philosophical concerns evident in
Plato's dialogues. The book argues that a distinctive virtue theory
of law is clearly presented in Plato's political dialogues. Through
a new reading of the Crito, Menexenus, Gorgias, Republic, Statesman
and Laws, Berges shows how Plato proposes several ways in which we
can understand the law from the perspective of virtue ethics.
