Republic: Collins Classics
Autor Platoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2021
Plato's Republic asks what makes a perfect community - and how we can all strive to be the 'ideal individual' within it.
Written in around 375 BC, it uses an assumed imagined dialogue to discuss the meaning of justice; whether the just man is happier than the unjust man; the role of philosophy and poetry within society; and the natures of existing regimes, and how they could be improved.
Based on Socratic principles, Plato's Republic is a classic, regarded as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy.

A student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle, Plato founded the Academy in Athens, which is considered the Western world's first institution of higher learning.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
'We set about founding the best city we could, because we could be confident that if it was good we would find justice in it'
The Republic, Plato's masterwork, was first enjoyed 2,400 years ago and remains one of the most widely-read books in the world: as a foundational work of Western philosophy, and for the richness of its ideas and virtuosity of its writing. Presented as a dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to philosophy, inviting its readers to reflect on the choices to be made if we are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work creates a picture of an ideal society governed not by the desire for money, power or fame, but by philosophy, wisdom and justice.
Christopher Rowe's accurate and enjoyable new translation remains faithful to the many variations of the Republic's tone, style and pace. This edition also contains a chronology, further reading, an outline of the work's main arguments and an introduction discussing Plato's relationship with Socrates, and the Republic's style, ideas and historical context.
Translated with an introduction and notes by Christopher Rowe
Recenzii
—Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland
"Joe Sachs, known and respected for his excellent translations of Aristotle, deserves great praise for this new translation of Plato's Republic. Based on the latest definitive edition of the Greek text and guided by a sense that Greek in English need not read like an old, foreign tongue, Sachs' translation captures the flow of the conversation in an English that reads smoothly, even when the ideas expressed force one to pause and look again. Fluid, yet accurate, Sachs' translation allows the thoughtful reader deeper entry into this all-important book. The editorial guides and typographical signs to remind the reader of who has joined the argument most recently are all highly helpful and most welcome. I look forward to reading this with students."
—Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland
Joe Sachs taught for thirty years at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. He has translated Aristotle's Physics, Metaphysics and On the Soul and, for the Focus Philosophical Library, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Poetics, and Plato's Theaetetus and Republic.
