Abstract

The relationship between Plato and democracy has been a widely discussed topic at least since K. Popper on The Open Society and its Enemies. New contributions in this century have presented completely divergent analyses in this regard. This study recovers an old analysis of Plato as a democratic thinker, by the French jurist Jean Bodin, showing his relevance for modern political thought and the very idea of popular sovereignty, one of the main motives of modern and contemporary democratic thought.
