Ballingall argues that the republican regime conceived in the Laws is built on "reverence," an archaic virtue governing emotions of self-assessment -- particularly awe and shame. Ballingall demonstrates how learning to feel these emotions in the right way, at the right time, and for the right things is the necessary basis for the rule of law conceived in the dialogue. The Laws remains surprisingly neglected in the scholarly literature, although this is changing. The cynical populisms haunting liberal democracies are focusing new attention on the "characterological" basis of constitutional government and Plato's Laws remains an indispensable resource on this question, especially when we attend to the theme of reverence at its core. Robert Ballingall is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Maine, USA. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Program on Constitutional Government at Harvard University and Allan Bloom Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow for Research in Classical Political Thought at the University of Toronto, where he also earned his PhD. 001471857 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 19, 2023). 001471857 60000 $$aPlato.$$tLaws. 001471857 650_0 $$aPolitical science$$xPhilosophy. 001471857 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001471857 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303131302X$$z9783031313028$$w(OCoLC)1373932193 001471857 830_0 $$aRecovering political philosophy,$$x2524-7174 001471857 852__ $$bebk 001471857 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-31303-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001471857 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1471857$$pGLOBAL_SET 001471857 980__ $$aBIB 001471857 980__ $$aEBOOK 001471857 982__ $$aEbook 001471857 983__ $$aOnline 001471857 994__ $$a92$$bISE
