The commentary on Plato's Republic by Proclus (d. 485 CE), which
takes the form of a series of essays, is the only sustained
treatment of the dialogue to survive from antiquity. This
three-volume edition presents the first complete English
translation of Proclus' text, together with a general introduction
that argues for the unity of Proclus' Commentary and orients the
reader to the use that the Neoplatonists made of Plato's Republic
in their educational program. Each volume is completed by a Greek
word index and an English-Greek glossary that will help
non-specialists to track the occurrence of key terms throughout the
translated text. The first volume of the edition presents Proclus'
essays on the point and purpose of Plato's dialogue, the arguments
against Thrasymachus in Book I, the rules for correct poetic
depictions of the divine, a series of problems about the status of
poetry across all Plato's works, and finally an essay arguing for
the fundamental agreement of Plato's philosophy with the divine
wisdom of Homer which is, in Proclus' view, allegorically
communicated through his poems.
