Book Synopsis
What's the proper role of religion in public life? It's a question no contemporary student of politics can ignore. This book takes the reader on a journey through the classic treatment of this query, a journey replete with observations on manners, customs, and legislation ancient and modern.

Trade Review
What the reader will find in A Journey into Platonic Politics is an outstanding example of philosophical exposition…One could hardly ask for a better, more straightforward elucidation of Plato's final dialogue and I foresee this text becoming an essential guide for any who study the Laws. -- Kenneth Royce Moore, University of Edinburgh * Polis *
