The Laws of Plato by Plato

challenging inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.25

Honestly, better than the republic. This is what that book might have looked like if Plato was speaking to the real world- if a true utopia is impossible, what is to be done? Less universal than the Republic because there are peculiarities specific to the time and place of Ancient Greece, but compelling and interesting. I thoroughly disagreed with vast swaths of his reasoning, and have the same problem I do with ALL the discourses; namely that the conversationalist concede ridiculous premises to the main debater all over the place. But it's still good and raises a number of questions that are still relevant to contemporary audiences.
