Plato's >Statesman< Revisited - Bog

The apparently disjointed and philosophically perplexing Statesman explores, among many other topics, the role and nature of the statesman; governance, virtue, and the law; and (in the framework of a Myth) the origins of the universe and humankind. Representing differing hermeneutical traditions, the volume¿s authors engage with these issues in ways which, though frequently divergent, do much to illuminate a complex and multifaceted work.
