The laws

Book • 1976
Plato's "Laws" is a significant work in his later years, offering a more practical approach to ideal governance compared to "The Republic.

" It presents a detailed legal framework for an ideal state, focusing on laws and their implementation.

Unlike the earlier dialogues, it's presented as a more structured legal code rather than a series of discussions.

The work explores various aspects of law, including criminal justice and education.

It provides a contrasting perspective on achieving a just society.
