Description
The Republic and other great dialogues by Plato are masterpieces that form part of the most important single body of writing in the history of philosophy. These works magnificently express the glowing spirit of Platonic philosophy, exploring themes such as beauty, love, immortality, knowledge, and justice.
Translated by W. H. D. Rouse, one of the world's most outstanding classical scholars and translator of Homer's The Odyssey and The Iliad, this volume features the complete texts of seven of Plato's most revered works. Socrates' strength of mind and dedication to philosophical truth are brought to life in Rouse's pages with a power that impressed and disturbed the ancient Greeks.
