en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2018

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.

Notă biografică

Plato (428/427 or 424/423 - 348/347 BC) was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought, and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the pivotal figure in the history of Ancient Greek and Western philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle.[a] Plato has also often been cited as one of the founders of Western religion and spirituality.[4] The so-called Neoplatonism of philosophers like Plotinus and Porphyry influenced Saint Augustine and thus Christianity. Alfred North Whitehead once noted: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."[5] Plato was the innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. Plato is also considered the founder of Western political philosophy. His most famous contribution is the theory of Forms known by pure reason, in which Plato presents a solution to the problem of universals known as Platonism (also ambiguously called either Platonic realism or Platonic idealism). 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.[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.[7] Although their popularity has fluctuated over the years, the works of Plato have never been without readers since the time they were written

---------

The Republic (Politeia; Latin: De Re Publica) is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 380 BC, concerning the definition of justice, the order and character of the just city-state and the just man-for this reason, ancient readers used the name On Justice as an alternative title (not to be confused with the spurious dialogue also titled On Justice).

The dramatic date of the dialogue has been much debated and though it might have taken place some time during the Peloponnesian War, "there would be jarring anachronisms if any of the candidate specific dates between 432 and 404 were assigned."

Plato's best-known work, it has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically.

In it, Socrates along with various Athenians and foreigners discuss the meaning of justice and examine whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man by considering a series of different cities coming into existence "in speech," culminating in a city called Kallipolis, which is ruled by philosopher-kings; and by examining the nature of existing regimes. The participants also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of the philosopher and of poetry in society.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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.

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
