Beskrivning

Everything you need to know about Plato’s Republic in one volume.No text in the history of western philosophy has been given more attention than Plato’s Republic.

Designed to be read alongside Plato’s text, this approach will be helpful for students and lecturers alike.

Recensioner i media

As an introduction, this book clearly addresses readers new to philosophical classics and has consequently a very simple structure: it takes them through the text step-by-step... It could also be useful for 'continental' scholars who are not really working on Plato but must teach the Republic in their courses, as it provides a short but good overview of recent interpretations of the dialogue in English speaking areas.
