{"product_id":"plato-on-virtue-and-the-sandrine-berges-9781847065926","title":"Plato on Virtue and the Law","description":"\u003cp\u003eAncient philosophy is no longer an isolated discipline. Recent years have seen the development of a dialogue between ancient and contemporary philosophers writing on central issues in moral and political philosophy. The renewed interest in character and virtue as ethical concepts is one such issue, yet Plato's contribution has been largely neglected in contemporary virtue ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePlato on Virtue and the Law\u003c\/em\u003e, Sandrine Berges seeks to address this gap in the literature by exploring the contribution that virtue ethics make to the understanding of laws alongside the interesting and plausible insights into current philosophical concerns evident in Plato's dialogues. The book argues that a distinctive virtue theory of law is clearly presented in Plato's political dialogues. Through a new reading of the Crito, Menexenus, Gorgias, Republic, Statesman and Laws, Berges shows how Plato proposes several ways in which we can understand the law from the perspective of virtue ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandrine Berges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847065929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847065926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Sandrine Berges","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065851162879,"sku":"9781847065926","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33e13d0d-cd06-4d11-acc3-3a5ec3c4ada8.jpg?v=1768677663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plato-on-virtue-and-the-sandrine-berges-9781847065926","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
