About this listen

Laws by Plato: What if the laws we follow could build a better world for everyone?

Unlike “The Republic”, Laws provides a grounded and detailed vision for creating a just and orderly society, acknowledging the complexities and challenges of human nature. This edition features:

  • The Formative Years of Plato
  • Exploring the Famous Academy of Athens
  • Socrates and Plato: A Philosophical Bond
  • The Vast Works of Plato
  • Contemplating Plato’s Lasting Influence.

In "Laws", Plato takes us on a journey to imagine the perfect society — not through dreamy ideals, but with real, practical ideas. The story happens on the island of Crete, where three wise men, including the Athenian Stranger, discuss how to create a city where people live together in peace and justice. Unlike Plato’s earlier works, this one isn’t about a perfect world led by kings, but about building a society that works for everyone.

The men talk about the importance of laws, education, and the need for rules to help people live good lives. They discuss how laws can guide us toward better behavior, how we should balance freedom and responsibility, and how to create a place where everyone can thrive. While the vision isn’t perfect, Laws is a deep exploration of what it really takes to build a fair, orderly society.

This book is a timeless reminder that the way we live together matters, and that creating a just world requires thoughtful action, care for one another, and the courage to build something better.
