Epinomis — Plato

Traditional attribution

Epinomis

Ἐπινομίς

Busto de Platón (Museos Capitolinos, MC 1377)
byPlato

'Appendix to the Laws': the same speakers ask what knowledge the Nocturnal Council must possess. The answer is astronomy understood as theology: the stars are visible, ensouled gods, and the study of number and of their motions leads to piety and wisdom.

Authorship note

Disputed, generally considered spurious: Diogenes Laertius (III 37) reports that some ascribed it to Philip of Opus, the secretary who copied out the Laws, and most modern scholarship follows that attribution.
