Description

In the Statesman the discussion is partly regarded as an illustration of method, and that analogies are brought from afar which throw light on the main subject. The search after the Statesman, which is carried on, like that for the Sophist, by the method of dichotomy, gives an opportunity for many humorous and satirical remarks.

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.
