This volume tackles both the apparent lack of unity and the perplexing philosophical content of the
as it explores, in what is now Plato's second account, subsequent to that of the
, of what would constitute the best society, the role and nature of the statesman in it; the art of governance of it; the role and nature of its laws; the role and status of its female citizens; and how the virtues are interwoven within it, along with many other topics, including (in a major Myth) that of the origins of the universe and of humankind.
