Of Rule and Office by Melissa Lane

Of Rule and Office by Melissa Lane

A constitutionalist reading of Plato's political thought.

"[A] meticulous new analysis of Plato’s constitutionalism. . . With the appearance of Melissa Lane’s authoritative Of Rule and Office, debate over the evolution of Plato’s discussion of the vulnerabilities of political office and the various ways in which rule and office might be understood must be nearly at an end."---Andrew David Irvine, Times Literary Supplement
"Written with extraordinary scrupulousness. . . . With [Of Rule and Office], Plato’s ideas of the political are put firmly on the map."---Christopher Rowe, Mind
"A delight to read."---Patrick Rioridan, The Heythrop Journal
