Autor Plato Editat de Joe Sachs Cuvânt după de John White
Notă:  4.00 · o notă 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2007

Evoluția filozofiei politice occidentale își găsește punctul de origine în acest dialog socratic, o lucrare care a încetat de mult să fie doar un text antic, devenind fundamentul pe care s-au construit teoriile despre dreptate și guvernare. În această ediție din seria Collins Classics, remarcăm efortul de a aduce textul lui Plato mai aproape de cititorul contemporan prin traducerea lui Joe Sachs, care reușește să păstreze rigoarea filozofică fără a recurge la un limbaj excesiv de arhaic. Subliniem că Republic nu este doar un tratat politic, ci o investigație psihologică și etică asupra fericirii omului drept în raport cu cel nedrept.

Structura volumului este riguros organizată în zece cărți, fiecare fiind urmată de întrebări de studiu care facilitează integrarea în curriculumul academic sau parcurgerea individuală. Această ediție extinde cadrul propus de An Analysis of Plato's The Republic prin includerea unor anexe istorice și literare valoroase, precum fragmente din Tucidide sau Xenofon, care oferă contextul necesar înțelegerii imperialismului athenian și a statutului social al vremii. Suntem de părere că această abordare transformă lectura dintr-un exercițiu abstract într-o experiență ancorată în realitatea istorică a Războiului Peloponeziac.

În contextul operei autorului, Republic reprezintă sinteza maturității sale, rafinând dialogul dialectic început în The Apology and Related Dialogues și extinzând metafizica iubirii din Plato Symposium către o viziune sistemică asupra societății. De la alegoria peșterii până la conceptul regilor-filozofi, textul rămâne o referință critică pentru oricine dorește să înțeleagă rădăcinile idealismului și ale realismului politic.

Despre autor

Plato (cca. 427–347 î.Hr.) a fost un filozof athenian fundamental pentru cultura europeană, fondator al Academiei din Atena, prima instituție de învățământ superior din lumea vestică. Elev al lui Socrate și mentor al lui Aristotel, el a pus bazele metafizicii, eticii și filozofiei politice prin forma dialogului scris. Opera sa, descrisă adesea ca fundamentul întregii tradiții intelectuale occidentale, introduce concepte revoluționare precum Teoria Formelor și idealul guvernării luminate, influențând decisiv teologia creștină și structura gândirii politice moderne.

Descriere

Focus Philosophical Library's edition of Plato's Republic is an English translation of one of the most intellectually important works in Western philosophy and political theory. It includes an extensive introduction, an extensive afterword "Imitation" by John White, a chapter-by-chapter outline of principal speakers and summary of the content, Stephanus numbers, boldface type to indicate the entrance of a new speaker into the discussion, footnotes, and glossary of key terms with cross-references for the text. This dialogue includes Socrates and others discussing the definition of justice, the theory of forms, and the immortality of the soul. Plato uses numerous dialogues between Socrates and various characters in Athens to discuss the nature of government, including the nature of justice, the happiness of the just and the unjust man, the nature of rule in the ideal city-state, and other matters essential to understanding classical philosophy such as the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, poetry, and the role of the philosopher in society.
FPL books are distinguished by their commitment to faithful, clear, and consistent translations of texts and the rich world part and parcel of those texts.

Recenzii

"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

Notă biografică

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. In Athens, Plato founded the Academy, a philosophical school where he taught the philosophical doctrines that would later become known as Platonism. Plato (or Platon) was a pen name derived, apparently, from the nickname given to him by his wrestling coach - allegedly a reference to his physical broadness. According to Alexander of Miletus quoted by Diogenes of Sinope his actual name was Aristocles, son of Ariston, of the deme Collytus (Collytus being a district of Athens).[2]Plato was an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. He raised problems for what later became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy. His most famous contribution is the Theory of forms, which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He is also the namesake of Platonic love and the Platonic solids.His own most decisive philosophical influences are usually thought to have been, along with Socrates, the pre-Socratics Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although few of his predecessors' works remain extant and much of what we know about these figures today derives from Plato himself.[a]Along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy.[b] Unlike the work of nearly all of his contemporaries, Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years.[6] Although their popularity has fluctuated, Plato's works have consistently been read and studied.[7] Through Neoplatonism Plato also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy (through e.g. Al-Farabi). In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato

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.
