Reading Plato both in the Greek context and in dialogue with contemporary thinkers, Lane argues that rule and office belong at the center of Platonic, Greek, and contemporary political thought. Plato famously defends the rule of knowledge.
A constitutionalist reading of Plato’s political thoughtPlato famously defends the rule of knowledge. Knowledge, for him, is of the good. But what is rule? In this study, Melissa Lane reveals how political office and rule were woven together in Greek vocabulary and practices that both connected and distinguished between rule in general and office as a constitutionally limited kind of rule in particular. In doing so, Lane shows Plato to have been deeply concerned with the roles and relationships between rulers and ruled.
Plato famously defends the rule of knowledge. Knowledge, for him, is of the good. But what is rule?. Adopting a longstanding Greek expectation that a ruler should serve the good of the ruled, Plato's major political dialogues - the Republic, the Statesman, and Laws - explore how different kinds of rule might best serve that good.
