Publisher Description
What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be?
In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just.
This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice?
What you'll discover inside:
• A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth
• Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice
• A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues
• A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought
Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.

About the Authors
Plato (circa 423–347 BC) was a philosopher in ancient Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Plato, together along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle, laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially philosophy of the Western tradition.
Julius Caesar (100 BC–44 BC) was a military general and leading politician in the Roman republic. His family, the Julii, claimed descent from the ancient kings of Rome and from the goddess Venus. Caesar rapidly carved out an impressive political career, forging an alliance with Pompey and Crassus in 60 BC. The Civil War is Caesar’s attempt at an explanation of the war that changed the Roman world.
