摘要：This exciting book places the reform of gender relations at the heart of Plato’s political
philosophy. In Michael S. Kochin’s view, the qualified gender equality of the Republic and the
limited but still radical reforms of the Laws are not oddities or side issues, but serious (if
impractical) proposals that conventional gender roles must be abandoned if individuals or communities
are to achieve the good life. While justifiably cautious of the dangers of anachronism
that go with describing Plato as a feminist (p. 37, n. 1), Kochin presents the philosopher as a
radical and profound critic of patriarchy and its consequences.
