First published in 2000, this translation of one of the great works
of Western political thought is based on the assumption that when
Plato chose the dialogue form for his writing, he intended these
dialogues to sound like conversations - although conversations of a
philosophical sort. In addition to a vivid, dignified and accurate
rendition of Plato's text, the student and general reader will find
many aids to comprehension in this volume: an introduction that
assesses the cultural background to the Republic, its place within
political philosophy, and its general argument; succinct notes in
the body of the text; an analytical summary of the work's content;
a full glossary of proper names; a chronology of important events;
and a guide to further reading. The result is an accomplished and
accessible edition of this seminal work, suitable for philosophers
and classicists as well as historians of political thought at all
levels.
