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 which 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 second volume of the edition presents Proclus'
essays on the tripartite soul and the virtues, female philosopher
rulers, and the metaphysics and epistemology of the central books
of the Republic. The longest of the essays in Volume II interprets
the nature and significance of the 'marriage number' whose
miscalculation leads to the degeneration of the ideal city-state.
