| Summary |
A Wolf in the City is an illuminating study of tyranny in Plato's Republic. It argues that Plato's critique of tyranny should not be taken as a critique of the Syracusan tyrannical regime, but as part of his critique of democracy, and it offers the first in-depth analysis of all three parts of the tyrant's soul |
