The Republic by Plato is a landmark achievement in Ancient Greek
philosophy - this edition contains every book, complete in a superb
translation by Benjamin Jowett, in hardcover. The Republic is part
conversation between friends active in the Athens intellectual
community, and part monologue from various participants in the
discussion. The narrator and lead character is Socrates, Plato's
mentor, who appears in most Platonic dialogues and acts as
surrogate to Plato's ideas. Throughout the text the 'Socratic
method', whereby Socrates feigns ignorance and questions an
adversary to receive insight on a given subject, is amply
demonstrated. The discussion begins with an attempt to find a
definition for justice, wherein a disagreement between Thrasymachus
- who believes justice is what is good for who is strongest at a
given place and time - and Socrates, who believes that all members
of society should, for the highest benefit of all, conform to just
action.
