His laws not only govern crime and punishment but also form a code of conduct for all aspects of life in his ideal state—from education, sports, and religion to sexual behavior, marriage, and drinking parties. Plato sets out a plan for the day-to-day rule of Magnesia, administered by citizens and elected officials, with supreme power held by a Council. Although Plato’s views that citizens should act in complete obedience to the law have been read as totalitarian, The Laws nonetheless constitutes a highly impressive program for the reform of society and provides a crucial insight into the mind of one of classical Greece’s foremost thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions :\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.9 x 2.6 x 19.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140449846\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 592\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005-01-27\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005-06-28\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegal Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
