Description

Plato Redivivus Or A Dialogue Concerning Government is a book written by Henry Neville and published in 1763. The book is a political satire that takes the form of a dialogue between various characters discussing different forms of government. The title of the book, Plato Redivivus, refers to the idea that the philosopher Plato has been resurrected and is participating in the dialogue. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different form of government: monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. The characters in the dialogue argue about the merits and drawbacks of each form of government, and ultimately conclude that a mixed government, combining elements of all three, is the best option. Throughout the book, Neville uses humor and irony to critique the political systems of his time. He also includes references to contemporary events and figures, such as the Seven Years' War and the British Prime Minister William Pitt. Overall, Plato Redivivus Or A Dialogue Concerning Government is a witty and thought-provoking work that explores the nature of political power and the ideal form of government.Wherein, By Observations Drawn From Other Kingdoms And States, Both Ancient And Modern, An Endeavor Is Used To Discover The Present Politic Distemper Of Our Own, With Causes And Remedies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
