This book attempts to situate Plato's ethics within his profoundly revisionist metaphysics. It aims to show why Plato makes the keystone of his metaphysical system a normative principle, the Idea of the Good. In doing this, we can see how Plato's metaphysics helps explain his politics and his theological doctrines.
