Laws (Plato)

Laws (Ancient Greek Νόμοι Nómoi ['nɔmɔɪ̯]) is a text Plato wrote as an old man. Like most of his other works, it is written in the form of a dialogue. It is perhaps Plato's most important writing. 

In the dialogue, three people on a hiking trip discuss what an ideal state should look like. They discuss many topics and questions, including these:

 Divine revelation, divine law and law-giving
 The role of intelligence in law-giving
 The relations of philosophy, religion, and politics
 The role of music, exercise and dance in education
 Natural law and natural rights
