Paperback / softback
Description
Plato's "Politicus" (Statesman) stands, both in date and in political thought, between the "Republic" and the "Laws".
It presents his thought at the point when he was chastened by disappointment with his attempts to put theory into practice at Syracuse.
The dialogue reflects contemporary controversies on the method of definition; but its logical exercises and the impressive 'myth' of the two cosmic eras serve to bring out its essential political teaching.
This volume contains the text in translation. In this second edition, Skemp made corrections to his extensive introduction and running commentary, and added a new appendix taking into account scholarship since the first (1952) edition.
