Devlet Adamı

Plato is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential philosophers in the history of thought. He contributed to the institutionalization of philosophy and the formation of the written tradition in philosophy, and was the initiator of the idealist philosophy tradition that would determine the entire medieval thought with its two-world metaphysics. Plato, who is also important in terms of his influence on Christian medieval philosophy and Islamic thought, addressed all the problems discussed throughout the history of thought hundreds of years ago and built the first major philosophical system.

The Statesman is one of the three basic dialogues in which Plato reveals his philosophy of politics and law. It forms a trio with the State and Laws dialogues. The Statesman, who is right in the middle of this trio, represents the understanding of "a philosophy brought down from the sky to the earth" in terms of political philosophy. In other words, Plato, who expresses his perfectionism and utopianism in the clearest way possible with the design of an ideal state in the Republic, here exhibits a much more realistic attitude in political and legal philosophy, having learned the necessary lesson from his visits to Sicily. Therefore, it reveals the principles and foundations of good governance at the human level.
