Books VIII-XII of the Nomoi conclude Plato's thoughts on the political order he created for a fictitious society. They contain texts that are of particular importance to Plato's later theories of political philosophy and theology: regulations for sexual behavior, a surprisingly modern theory of punishment, a long theological treatise that includes a rebuttal of atheism and a detailed proof of the existence of God including a theodicy, and finally the role of the so-called night assembly that serves as a supervising body over the laws in order maintain the body politic.

About the author

Klaus Schöpsdau ist Professor für Klassische Philologie an der Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken.

Platon, 427-347 v. Chr., stammte aus adeligem Geschlecht und zählt zu den bedeutendsten griechischen Philosophen. Er war entscheidend von seinem Lehrer Sokrates geprägt. Nach dessen Tod begab er sich auf Reisen, doch scheiterten seine Hoffnungen, in Syrakus sein Staatsideal zu verwirklichen. Nach seiner Rückkehr gründete er in Athen seine Philosophenschule, die Akademie.
