Law in the Platonic Totalitarian State

Bożena Kruszewska – Kuśmierczyk

Abstract

The paper focuses on two basic pro­blems: the question of the role of law as such in creating a just social order, and the role of a concrete law presented in the Platonie conception) in a totalitarian state. Plato, asking about values the law should be based upon, first of all stands in opposition to so­phistic relativism.

Social and philosophical views of Piało, as well as bis opinions concerning the law, are connected with his ontology and pessimi­stic ethics. Reality, perceived as a dark: world of phenomena, is set against an idealistic theory, the surprising effect of which is a philosophical justification of a totalitarian state system..
