The classic translation of the foundational work of Western philosophy.
Plato's "Republic" is widely recognized as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. It is presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors and is an exploration of the concept of a perfect community and the ideal person within it.
During the discussion, other questions arise: what is good? what is reality? what is knowledge? what is the purpose of education? With remarkable lucidity and skillful use of allegory, Plato arrives at the depiction of a city governed by harmony and ruled by "philosopher-kings".
Translation by DESMOND LEE with an Introduction by MELISSA LANE.
