More about the book
In this later political work by Plato, the dialogue focuses on defining a statesman, featuring a mysterious stranger from Elea as the main speaker, with Socrates in a minor role. The text emphasizes the method of division, breaking down complex subjects into manageable parts, akin to the branches of a tree. This approach serves as a model for philosophical inquiry, showcasing a more dogmatic style compared to Plato's earlier, more dramatic dialogues.
