Abstract

Book Review: Randall Baldwin Clark, "The Law Most Beautiful and Best: Medical Argument and Magical Rhetoric in Plato’s Laws", Lexington Books, 2004 (pp. 178 + xiv) Randall Clark has distinguished himself among a growing number of scholars taking a new look at theories of law in ancient Greek texts. The review examines a number of original features of Clark’s approach, and shows how the book sheds new light on important themes in Plato’s Republic and Laws.
