For those who believe that reason?not faith?should be the basis of politics and the law, proponents of divine law raise theoretical and practical concerns that must be addressed seriously and respectfully. As Mark J. Lutz makes plain in this illuminating book, they have an important ally in Plato, whose long neglected Laws provides an eye-opening analysis of the relation between political philosophy and religion and a powerful defense of political rationalism.Plato mounts his case, Lutz reveals, through a productive dialogue between his Athenian Stranger and various devout citizens that begins by exploring the common ground between them, but ultimately establishes the authority of rational political philosophy to guide the law. The result will fascinate not only political theorists but also scholars at all levels with an interest in the intersection of religion and politics or in the questions that surround ethics and civic education. 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 610 $aSocrates, Athenian Stranger, religious philosophy, secular rationlist government. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 676 $a321/.07 700 $aLutz$b Mark J.$0617739 702 $aFauci$b Julia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787136003321 996 $aDivine Law and Political Philosophy in Plato's Laws$91074604 997 $aUNINA
