This volume contains the translation and the commentary on the books VIII-XII, which complete the Platonic state blueprint with the rules on sexual behavior, with a theory of punishment and a philosophical theology besides numerous legal texts. German description: In den Buchern VIII-XII der Nomoi findet die Staatsordnung, die Platon in seinem umfangreichsten Dialog fur ein fiktives Gemeinwesen entwirft, ihren Abschluss. Sie enthalten Texte, die fur die politische Philosophie und Theologie des spaten Platon von besonderer Bedeutung sind: Vorschriften fur das sexuelle Verhalten, eine uberraschend moderne Theorie des Strafens, eine lange theologische Abhandlung, die zur Widerlegung des Atheismus einen ausfuhrlichen Gottesbeweis samt Theodizee entwickelt, und schliesslich die Einsetzung der sog. Nachtlichen Versammlung, die als Aufsichtsorgan uber die Gesetze den Fortbestand des Staatswesens sichern soll.
