The Laws
Translated with an Introduction and Notes
by Trevor J. Saunders
Preface by R. F. Stalley
In his last and longest work, Plato sets
forth a detailed code of immutable laws
for the ideal state that contrasts sharply
with the notion of the philosopher-king
developed in The Republic. This edition
includes a list of crimes with textual
citations and an appendix of Plato’s
letters.
