The new edition of Plato's works offers a comprehensive collection of his dialogues that address the themes of society and state. This edition is based on the six-volume series published by Rowohlt Verlag between 1957 and 1959. The translation by Friedrich Schleiermacher serves as the foundation, while the few untranslated texts utilize the translation by Hieronymus Müller. Volume 4 is particularly valuable for readers interested in the philosophical foundations of political theory and the structure of society. The careful editing and historical relevance of the texts make this work an important read for anyone looking to engage with Plato's thought.
