Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Νόμοι και Επινομίς, Τόμος Α" by Plato is a philosophical work written in the 4th century BC. This text delves into the nature of laws, governance, and the ethical underpinnings of society, primarily through dialogue among prominent figures such as Athenian visitors and Cretan interlocutors. The conversation explores how the character and structure of laws can shape a just city-state and the role of virtue in legislation. The opening of this work presents a dialogue initiated by an Athenian discussing the origins and divine inspiration behind laws. The characters, including Kleínias from Crete and Megillos from Sparta, engage in a philosophical discussion about the essential qualities of laws and governance, particularly focusing on military training, communal resources, and the nature of virtue. They ponder the idea that society is in constant conflict, both externally with other states and internally among its own members, suggesting that the foundational laws should promote not just order but the ethical growth of individuals and communities. The dialogue sets the stage for deeper inquiries about justice and the role of a legislator in ensuring a virtuous society.
