Plato's Laws: Force and Truth in Politics (Studies in Continental Thought) - Softcover
Readers of Plato have often neglected the Laws because of its length and density. In this set of interpretive essays, notable scholars of the Laws from the fields of classics, history, philosophy, and political science offer a collective close reading of the dialogue "book by book" and reflect on the work as a whole. In their introduction, editors Gregory Recco and Eric Sanday explore the connections among the essays and the dramatic and productive exchanges between the contributors. This volume fills a major gap in studies on Plato’s dialogues by addressing the cultural and historical context of the Laws and highlighting their importance to contemporary scholarship.

About the Author:
Review:
Gregory Recco is a tutor at St. John's College in Annapolis.
Eric Sanday is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Kentucky.
"This volume fills a major gap in studies on Plato's dialogues by addressing the cultural and historical context of the Laws and highlighting their importance to contemporary scholarship."
(PhilPapers)"[T]he collection [is] interesting and thought provoking. In particular, it draws attention to sections of the dialogue that are easily overlooked and usefully highlights the role of contingent factors in Plato's political thought."
(International Journal of the Platonic Tradition)"The collection as a whole is characterized by a significant degree of cohesion... The contributors engage with one another's arguments, and there are frequent cross-references that help the reader follow the nuances of relevant scholarly debates.2/28/14"
