About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Plato's "Laws," his longest work, is a dialogue on building a just society. Three elderly men design a constitution for a new city, Magnesia, aiming for both happiness and virtue in its citizens.
Unlike his earlier "Republic," which envisioned philosopher-kings, "Laws" explores a more practical, mixed government with elements of democracy and aristocracy. The dialogue emphasizes the rule of law, including persuasive preambles to explain the rationale behind each law.
Key themes include education, religion, the importance of music and arts, and the role of women, with Plato advocating for their involvement in military training and education. While less utopian than "Republic," "Laws" offers a detailed blueprint for a society guided by reason and moderation.
