{"product_id":"the-laws","title":"The Laws","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the Laws, Plato describes in fascinating detail a comprehensive system of legislation in a small agricultural utopia he named Magnesia. His laws not only govern crime and punishment, but also form a code of conduct for all aspects of life in his ideal state - from education, sport and religion to sexual behaviour, marriage and drinking parties. Plato sets out a plan for the day-to-day rule of Magnesia, administered by citizens and elected officials, with supreme power held by a Council. Although Plato's views that citizens should act in complete obedience to the law have been read as totalitarian, the Laws nonetheless constitutes a highly impressive programme for the reform of society and provides a crucial insight into the mind of one of Classical Greece's foremost thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44229588615228,"sku":"9780140449846","price":3415.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9780140449846.jpg?v=1776779071","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-laws","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
