this book is beyond reproach

Zena Hitz, St. John's College (Annapolis), Polis

This superb book clearly displays Annas' characteristic keen sense of what the important philosophical problems are and her willingness to offer bold, new interpretations. ... It is a major contribution both to the novel main question that it develops and to the standing debates that it touches upon. Anyone interested in ancient ethics or political philosophy will learn a great deal from it.

Chris Bobonich, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Julia Annas presents a study of Plato's account of the relation of virtue to law: how it developed from the Republic to the Laws, and how his ideas were taken up by Cicero and by Philo of Alexandria. Annas shows that, rather than rejecting the approach to an ideal society in the Republic (as generally thought), Plato is in both dialogues concerned with the relation of virtue to law, and obedience to law, and presents, in the Laws, a more careful and sophisticated account of that relation. His approach in the Laws differs from his earlier one, because he now tries to build from the political cultures of actual societies (and their histories) instead of producing a theoretical thought-experiment. Plato develops an original project in which obedience to law is linked with education to promote understanding of the laws and of the virtues which obedience to them promote. Annas also explores how this project appeals independently to the very different later writers Cicero and Philo of Alexandria.
