Plato's Three Forms of Impiety in Context: Laws X 884a-887c

Original language description

The article offers an in-depth analysis in the form of a close reading of the very beginning of Book X of Plato&apos;s Laws. It focuses on a passage where Plato defines three types of impiety which he claims to be the source of a wrong conception of the divine, the world, and human actions. To better understand Plato&apos;s seemingly conservative but actually uncommon and problematic definition of impiety, it is contrasted with partly similar reasoning of Xenophon&apos;s Socrates. By situating this key passage of the Laws within the context of the entire dialogue and within the relevant contemporary discussions, we arrive at a better understanding of the nature of Platonic revolution in a philosophical approach to traditional Greek religion.
