| Summary |
"Νόμοι και Επινομίς, Τόμος Γ" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in the 4th century BC. This work delves into the intricacies of law, governance, and societal structure, focusing particularly on the organization of a just city-state. As the dialogue unfolds, characters engage in discussions about the proper roles and responsibilities of citizens, the nature of family and marriage, and the underlying principles that should guide legislation. The opening of the work introduces a conversation between Athenian, Kleinias, and Megillos, who are discussing the foundation of a new city and the importance of establishing a sound system of laws and governance. Athenian emphasizes the need for careful planning around various aspects of city life, including housing, public works, and the roles of citizens, particularly regarding marriage and family. He suggests that the organization of a city must prioritize the common good and must encourage participation and accountability among its inhabitants, hinting at a broader exploration of social order that will develop in the subsequent passages.
