en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2000

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

Famous philosophical treatise of the 4th century BC concerns itself chiefly with the idea of justice, as well as such Platonic theories as that of ideas, the criticism of poetry, and the philosopher's role. Source of the famous cave myth and prototype for other imaginary commonwealths, including those of Cicero, St. Augustine, and More. Benjamin Jowett translation.

Descriere scurtă

Often ranked as the greatest of Plato's many remarkable writings, this celebrated philosophical work of the fourth century B.C. contemplates the elements of an ideal state, serving as the forerunner for such other classics of political thought as Cicero's "De Republica," St. Augustine's "City of God," and Thomas More's "Utopia."
Written in the form of a dialog in which Socrates questions his students and fellow citizens, "The Republic" concerns itself chiefly with the question, "What is justice?" as well as Plato's theory of ideas and his conception of the philosopher's role in society. To explore the latter, he invents the allegory of the cave to illustrate his notion that ordinary men are like prisoners in a cave, observing only the shadows of things, while philosophers are those who venture outside the cave and see things as they really are, and whose task it is to return to the cave and tell the truth about what they have seen. This dynamic metaphor expresses at once the eternal conflict between the world of the senses (the cave) and the world of ideas (the world outside the cave), and the philosopher's role as mediator between the two.
High school and college students, as well as lovers of classical literature and philosophy, will welcome this handsome and inexpensive edition of an immortal work. It appears here in the fine translation by the English classicist Benjamin Jowett.

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

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
