title = {Contro Atene},
year = {2025},
note = {Through an analysis of the Laws and the context of ancient Athens, the
book shows that the democratic elements of Plato’s political project
are not instruments of popular expression but are instead conceived as
means to achieve a constitution based on the sovereignty of the law
and in harmony with the government of the philosopher-kings of the
Republic. Although Plato does not explicitly oppose democracy in the
Laws, as he does in the Republic, he nevertheless designs a city in
opposition to democratic Athens, thus confirming the consistency of
his political theses.},
