The Development of Plato's Political Theory [Paperback]

Like the first edition, this edition of
The Development of Plato's Political Theory provides a clear, scholarly account of Plato's political theory in the context of the social and political events of his time. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to take into account scholarly developments during the last twenty years.

This is a valuable book. I would recommend it to undergraduates in classics, philosophy and politics as a reliable introduction to Plato's political theory. --Antony Hatzistavrou,The Classical Review
