Although he was a prolific philosopher, Plato’s views on women’s place in society are limited. Host Amanda Tipton speaks with fellow podcast contributor Kelly Tannenbaum about some select passages from Plato’s Republic and Laws, as well as a short passage from Cratylus. They discuss the implications of these passages regarding women’s rights and responsibilities, as well as their legal and ethical status in ancient Greece as reflected by Plato’s dialogs.
