The Republic

Autor Plato Traducere de Desmond Lee
Notă:  4.00 · o notă 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 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.

Notă biografică

Plato (c.427-347 BC) stands with Socrates and Aristotle as one of the shapers of the whole intellectual tradition of the West. He founded in Athens the Academy, the first permanent institution devoted to philosophical research and teaching, and theprototype of all Western universities. Desmond Lee was a fellow and tutor of Classics at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and later became President of St Hughes Hall, Cambridge.

Melissa Lane received her PhD in Philosophy from Cambridge University. She teaches the history of political thought and political philosophy in the History Faculty at Cambridge University, and is a Fellow of King's College. Her books include Method and Politics in Plato's Statesman (Cambridge, 1998) and Plato's Progeny: how Plato and Socrates still captivate the modern mind (Duckworth, 2001).

Descriere scurtă

Plato's The Republic is widely acknowledged as the cornerstone of Western philosophy.

Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of education and the role of both women and men as "guardians" of the people. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by "philosopher kings."

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

"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
