Laws
"This is a superb new translation that is remarkably accurate to Plato's very difficult Greek, yet clear and highly readable.The notes are more helpful than those in any other available translation of the Laws since they contain both the information needed by the beginning student as well as analytical notes that include references to the secondary literature for the more advanced reader.For either the beginner or the scholar, this should be the preferred translation."—Christopher Bobonich, Clarence Irving Lewis Professor of Philosophy, Stanford University

Cultivating Conscience : How Good Laws Make Good People
Contemporary law and public policy often treat human beings as selfish creatures who respond only to punishments and rewards.Yet every day we behave unselfishly--few of us mug the elderly or steal the paper from our neighbor's yard, and many of us go out of our way to help strangers.We nevertheless overlook our own good behavior and fixate on the bad things people do and how we can stop them.In this pathbreaking book, acclaimed law and economics scholar Lynn Stout argues that this focus neglects the crucial role our better impulses could play in society.Rather than lean on the power of greed to shape laws and human behavior, Stout contends that we should rely on the force of conscience.Stout makes the compelling case that conscience is neither a rare nor quirky phenomenon, but a vital force woven into our daily lives.Drawing from social psychology, behavioral economics, and evolutionary biology, Stout demonstrates how social cues--instructions from authorities, ideas about others' selfishness and unselfishness, and beliefs about benefits to others--have a powerful role in triggering unselfish behavior. Stout illustrates how our legal system can use these social cues to craft better laws that encourage more unselfish, ethical behavior in many realms, including politics and business.Stout also shows how our current emphasis on self-interest and incentives may have contributed to the catastrophic political missteps and financial scandals of recent memory by encouraging corrupt and selfish actions, and undermining society's collective moral compass.This book proves that if we care about effective laws and civilized society, the powers of conscience are simply too important for us to ignore.

The Laws
In the Laws, Plato describes in fascinating detail a comprehensive system of legislation in a small agricultural utopia he named Magnesia.His laws not only govern crime and punishment, but also form a code of conduct for all aspects of life in his ideal state - from education, sport and religion to sexual behaviour, marriage and drinking parties.Plato sets out a plan for the day-to-day rule of Magnesia, administered by citizens and elected officials, with supreme power held by a Council.Although Plato's views that citizens should act in complete obedience to the law have been read as totalitarian, the Laws nonetheless constitutes a highly impressive programme for the reform of society and provides a crucial insight into the mind of one of Classical Greece's foremost thinkers.
