Like the volume before it, \u003cem\u003ePlato's Philebus, A Philosophical Discussion\u003c\/em\u003e, it offers a comprehensive philosophical analysis of the entire dialogue it treats. The present volume divides the \u003cem\u003eStatesman\u003c\/em\u003e into argumentatively self-contained sections, each one of which is scrutinized thoroughly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis style of treatment proves particularly useful for the \u003cem\u003eStatesman\u003c\/em\u003e, an acutely perplexing dialogue that deals with many and seemingly unconnected themes-such as leadership of a state and the best from of constitution (politeia), philosophical methodology and epistemology, the doctrine of due measure (to metrion), the dialectical practice of collection and division and ancillary investigative methods such as the use of myth and models (paradeigmata). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present volume discusses all issues the dialogue raises while abstaining from making an overarching claim on the dialogue as a whole, other than the one implied by the notion that all its parts are interrelated, equally important philosophically, and together constitute a unified whole. The aim is to bring to the forefront each one of the dialogue's many themes and devote to it the attention that will permit it to stake its claim to be part of a unified philosophical work. In this respect, the present volume challenges the readers to come to their own view on how the dialogue hangs together as a whole, but only after having gone through a comprehensive philosophical discussion of and reflection on its constitutive parts.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanos Dimas, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, University of Oslo\u003c\/em\u003e, Melissa Lane, \u003cem\u003eClass of 1943 Professor of Politics, Princeton University\u003c\/em\u003e, Susan Sauv?
