brief_description
The reader of The Republic, Plato's best known political work, may well be astonished by The Laws. Instead of an ideal state ruled directly by moral philosophers, this later work depicts a society permeated by the rule of law. Immutable laws control most aspects of public and private life, from civil and legal administration to marriage, religion, and sport. -- Publisher's description.
