Using the method of division and collection, this dialogue attempts to define the statesman as a distinct kind of expert shepherd of the human flock. The stranger from Elea leads the inquiry, utilizing the myth of the age of Cronus to distinguish between divine rule and human governance. It explores the necessity of laws as an imperfect substitute for the wisdom of a true ruler, acknowledging the messiness of practical politics. The work provides a sophisticated analysis of constitutional forms and the art of weaving together different temperaments in the state.
