This is the second of a projected trilogy of dialogues, in which an
unnamed stranger sets out to satisfy Socrates' desire for an
account of sophist, statesman, and philosopher. (The third was
never written.) Focus Philosohpical Library's Statesman includes a
faithful, clear, and consistent translation to English, with notes.
It also includes an exploratory essay, glossary of crucial Greek
terms, supplemental diagrams illustrating diairesis ("The Divisions
of the Statesman"), and an appendix on the paradigm of weaving.
