Democracy of Plato examines democracy through the critical framework developed by Plato, focusing on how democratic systems distribute power, shape judgment, and influence collective decision-making.

Rather than arguing for or against democracy, the book analyzes Plato’s concerns about opinion, persuasion, and the role of knowledge in governance. Drawing on The Republic, the trial of Socrates, and Plato’s observations of Athenian democracy, it explores the tension between equality and expertise, participation and understanding.
