Know about the book -

Tragedy, Philosophy, and Political Education in Plato's Laws is written by Ryan K. Balot and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0197647227 (ISBN 10) and 9780197647226 (ISBN 13).

Previous scholars and writers have either celebrated the idealism in Plato's Laws or denounced its totalitarianism. Ryan K. Balot, by contrast, refuses to interpret the dialogue as a political blueprint, whether admirable or misguided. Instead, he shows that it constitutes Plato's greatest philosophical investigation of political life. In this transformative re-appraisal, Balot reveals that Plato's goal was to cultivate a tragic attitude toward our political passions, commitments, and aspirations.
