Summary

This collection of writings on Plato and the Law features leading interpreters of Plato, including Vlastos, Hall, Strauss, Weinrib, Annas, and Morrow, who argue that Plato's dialogues reveal that knowledge of the functions of law, based upon intelligible principles, can be reformulated for relevance to our age.
