Description

The text Statesman, by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue composed of several allegorical myths that aim to assess the qualifications of rulership and the properties of wisdom. Through his discourse with Socrates, Theaetetus strives to determine what exactly constitutes a statesman - seeking to find an answer which surpasses mere technical expertise. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
