Beschreibung
Grigorios Dikaios seeks a new answer to the old and highly controversial question of how Platos three major dialogues - Republic, Statesman, and Laws - relate to one another. Are the Laws, Platos late masterwork, (not) a refutation of the theses defended in the Republic? Is the Statesman a bridging dialogue - a bridge between Republic and Laws? Why is Socrates entirely absent from the Laws? Drawing on the often overlooked distinction between dreaming and waking state ( / vs. ) and the double meaning of (model and example), Dikaios reconsiders the epistemological and political background between these dialogues. Just as the weaver in the Statesman interlaces warp and woof, this study attempts to interweave and simultaneously distinguish central aspects of the three dialogues - enabling a comparison from the Republic to the Laws and back from the Laws to the Republic, from end to beginning and from beginning to end.
