Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plato, With an English Translation, Vol. 1 of 2: IX Laws
Politics and Ethics are, naturally, the subjects with which the Laws is mainly concerned; but in the Tenth Book we get something also of psycho logical and metaphysical doctrine. In his vindication of Religion in that Book - to which reference has been made above - Plato elaborates that view of Soul as the principle of self-movement which he had indicated, much earlier, in the Phaedrus. His dis cussion of the relation of Soul to Motion, on the one hand, and to Reason, on the other, together with his new classification of the kinds of motion, and his distinction between primary and secondary motions form the most valuable additions to Platonic philosophy which the Laws contains.
