Purchase options and add-ons

This book is a philosophical analysis of Plato's dialogue the Statesman. Dr. Lane finds that rather than being transitional between the Republic and the Laws, the Statesman deserves a special place of its own--the dialogue emerging as a text that proposes a new conception of knowledge, authority, and the relationship between them. This investigation transforms our understanding of the Statesman and its fellow dialogues.

"...this book makes a number of interesting, helpful, profound observations..." Classical World

    I am the Class of 1943 Professor of Politics at Princeton University, having taught previously in the Faculty of History in the University of Cambridge, where I had studied philosophy. I've also been appointed to a three-year term (alongside my Princeton duties) as the Professor of Rhetoric at Gresham College: a non-degree-granting institution which has offered free public lectures in English in London since 1597. I love to discuss and write about political ideas, drawing on ancient Greek and Roman sources, in all kinds of academic, public, and community contexts.
