Beskrivning
The classic translation of the cornerstone work of western philosophyPlato's Republic is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge; what is the purpose of education? With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by 'philosopher kings'. Translated by DESMOND LEE with an Introduction by MELISSA LANE

She teaches the history of political thought and political philosophy in the History Faculty at Cambridge University, and is a Fellow of King's College.

  1. 5/5 Pennani

    Tidlös klassiker som alla med ett filosofi-intresse bör läsa. Detta är nog ett verk som jag kommer att återkomma till ett flertalet gånger.

  2. 5/5 Sebastian L

    Platons dialog fungerar på flera nivåer. för den statsvetenskapligt intresserade tar den upp demokratin ur flera vinklar. För den antikintresserade tar den upp dåtidens politiska system som var den första moderna demokratin.

    Ett måste att ha i hyllan!
