About this audiobook
The text Statesman, by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue composed of several allegorical myths that aim to assess the qualifications of rulership and the properties of wisdom. Through his discourse with Socrates, Theaetetus strives to determine what exactly constitutes a statesman - seeking to find an answer which surpasses mere technical expertise. Read in English, unabridged.

During the Classical period of Ancient Greece he was based in Athens where he founded his Academy and created the Platonist school of thought. His works are among the most influential in Western history, commanding interest and challenging readers of every era and background since they were composed.
