Plato and the City is a general introduction to Plato#s political thought. It covers the main periods of Platonic thought, examining those dialogues that best show how Plato makes the city's unity the aim of politics and then makes the quest for that unity the aim of philosophy. From the psychological model (the city is like a great soul) to the physiological definition (the city is a living being), the reader can traverse the whole of Plato's #uvre, and understand it as a political philosophy.
Translated by Janet Lloyd ; with a foreword by Christopher Gill
