Focusing on the definition of a statesman, this dialogue features a mysterious stranger from Elea who leads the conversation, with Socrates playing a minor role. It emphasizes a systematic approach to philosophical inquiry through the method of division, akin to branching limbs of a tree. This technique serves to clarify concepts and offers a structured model for understanding political philosophy, distinguishing it from Plato's earlier, more dramatic works.
