	Amazon.com: Books: The Laws (Penguin Classics)
		Plato's Laws suffer from much greater criticism in the modern world than the Republic, in part because it is a more 'realistic' work, with a reality that no longer applies.
		Plato wrote this work, 'The Laws', as the last of his dialogues.
		This shows that Plato considers politics to be an exact science (indeed, despite the inclusion of the 'nocturnal council', he did see his system of laws being essentially unalterable through history).

	Amazon.ca: Books: Plato's "Laws": The Discovery of Being
		Where it immediately becomes difficult is in comprehending the smenatics behind the author's statement that if Plato's Laws is a prelude to laws then the first three books are a prelude to the laws of Magnesia and the Athenian's initial proposal is a prelude to the prelude that is Plato's Laws.
		The Laws was Plato's last work, his longest, and one of his most difficult.
		The hardback coverleaf tells us that Plato's Laws was his "longest, and one of his most difficult".

	Articles - Laws (dialogue)
		The city of the Laws differs in its allowance of private property and private families, and in the very existence of written laws, from the city of the Republic, with its communistic property-system, possession of women in common, and absence of written law.
		Plato was not the only Ancient Greek author writing about the law systems of his day, and making comparisons between the Athenian and the Lacedaemonian/Spartan laws.
		The entire dialogue takes place during this journey, which mimics the action of Minos, who is said by the Cretans to have made their ancient laws, who walked this path every nine years in order to receive instruction from Zeus on lawgiving.

	The Laws of Thought
		The restrictions Plato places on the laws of thought (i.e., "in the same respect," and "at the same time,") are an attempt to isolate the object of thought by removing it from all other time but the present and all respects but one.
		Of course, Plato was well aware that in order for the laws of thought to work they needed to be restricted, for if left unrestricted they could lead to absurd conclusions.
		On another model in which concepts are thought to descend from multiple genuses, the laws of thought are not as applicable because, as a member of more than a single genus, a concept could contain contradictory attributes.

	An ancient assessment of Alexander the Great
		Few of us read Plato's Laws, but the laws of Alexander have been and are still used by millions of men.
		Plato drew up in writing one ideal constitution but could not persuade anyone to adopt it because of its severity, while Alexander founded over seventy cities among barbarian tribes, sprinkled Greek institutions all over Asia, and so overcame its wild and savage manner of living.
		And Socrates was condemned by the sycophants in Athens for introducing new deities, while thanks to Alexander Bactria and the Caucasus worshipped the gods of the Greeks.

	Complete Translation Services - The History of Translation
		Plato's Academy, established in Greece during the fourth century BC, was based on the ideological conviction that well-trained philosophers could reliably find truth.
		Sumerians, Akadians, Assyrians: the need to make laws, creation tales and other scriptures, and economic norms known among peoples using different languages
		Also translated were texts in other languages like Syriac, into which the Greek originals had previously been translated by political and religious refugees who had left Greece for India, Persia and other parts east, including some who had been expelled from Plato's Academy in Athens.

	Plato
		Plato's last work, the Laws, adds nothing new but reaffirms much and extends the project of controlling literature from the fanciful Republic to practical politics.
		Plato's mature writings express (and argue for) the conviction that the true referents of the words in any language are not the perceptible individuals in the world but an unchanging, intelligible reality of some sort, provisionally identified with entities ("Forms" or "Ideas") that would be the bearers of names in an ideal language.
		Writing is not an aid to memory (in Plato's writings, "memory" stands for access to the deepest layers of one's mental resources) but a mere reminder; writing cuts words off from thought (274c-275e), from the discourse internal to the mind that recognizes occasions for speech and occasions for silence (276a-e).

		Plato saw his task as that of leading men to a vision of the Forms and to some sense of the highest good.

		In the Laws the andreia, contrary to the traditional view, has the lowest position in the hierarchy, while justice (closely related to sophrosyne and the other virtues) is the essential virtue for the political life.

	Parmenides eBook by Plato
		The anamnesis of the Ideas is chiefly insisted upon in the mythical portions of the dialogues, and really occupies a very small space in the entire works of Plato.
		To suppose that Plato, at a later period of his life, reached a point of view from which he was able to answer them, is a groundless assumption.
		The real progress of Plato’s own mind has been partly concealed from us by the dogmatic statements of Aristotle, and also by the degeneracy of his own followers, with whom a doctrine of numbers quickly superseded Ideas.

	EAWC Essay: Plato and His Dialogues
		Critias, 108a-b) that would have staged a Syracusan general who defeated the Athenian expedition to Sicily, and whose name means "endowed with the power of Hermes, messenger of the gods," with the Laws, leaving the reader with two options.
		This position was held, in the time of Plato, by Isocrates, the most brilliant disciple of Gorgias (and the head of a very successful school in Athens that was competing with the Academy), who, unable to understand the difference between Socrates and Euthydemus, considered platonic dialectic to be mere hair-splitting with no practical application.
		I prefer to suppose that, if there is an "evolution" from dialogue to dialogue, it is not Plato's evolution, at least not his evolution while writing the dialogues, but the evolution that is necessary from a pedagogical standpoint to adapt to the progress of the reader as he proceeds through the dialogues.

	ClassicNotes: Plato
		The works produced in these years: Theaetetus, Parmenides, Philebus, Laws, and Timaeus, constitute the "later" period and contain some of Plato's most profound meditations on the nature of knowledge, perception, and subjectivity.
		Plato's father died when Plato was a young child; his mother, unable to support Plato, his two older brothers Adeimantus and Glaucon, and his young sister Potone on her own, remarried to Pyrilampes, an associate of the statesman Pericles.
		Plato probably met Socrates around 409 through close relatives Critias (Plato's mother's uncle) and Charmides (his mother's brother), who were friends with Socrates.

		Much else recorded of his life is uncertain; that he left Athens for a time after Socrates' execution is probable; that later he went to Cyrene, Egypt, and Sicily is possible; that he was wealthy is likely; that he was critical of 'advanced' democracy is obvious.

	Why did Plato destroy Athens along with Atlantis?
		And my understanding of all this is that the Critias was deliberately interrupted by Plato at the very moment " Zeus, the god of gods who reigns by laws " ( Critias, 121b) is about to talk in the assembly of the gods he has convened to set a plan to straighten up men's mess.
		This page is part of the "e-mail archives" section of a site, Plato and his dialogues, dedicated to developing a new interpretation of Plato's dialogues.
		If, from Critias' standpoint, he is making up new ratonales for Athens' imperialism and thus, draws his inspiration from the Medean wars, Plato finds a way to make the story such that it also includes its own antidote (aside from being shut in the middle to make us wonder...) !...
