Description

The Republic by Plato is a foundational work in Western philosophy that explores the nature of justice, morality, and the ideal society. This volume presents a modern translation of all ten books of the dialogue, accompanied by a range of supplementary materials.

These include a synoptic table of contents, a prefatory essay, and an appendix on The Spindle of Necessity by the translator and editor Raymond Larson. An introduction by Eva T. H. Brann provides context for the philosophical ideas presented in the dialogue, while a list of principal dates in the life of Plato offers insight into the historical background of the work.

Supplemented with a bibliography, this edition of The Republic is an ideal resource for scholars and students seeking to engage with one of the most influential philosophical texts of all time.
