Synopsis
In Plato's "Republic", his most celebrated "dialogue," the philosopher condemns the justice and morality of Greek society after the trial and execution of his teacher, Socrates. Disillusioned with politics and politicians, Plato argued that civilization demanded truly enlightened government, led by philosopher-kings. He wrote that "...mankind will have no respite from trouble until either real philosophers gain political power or politicians become by some miracle true philosophers."

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I went down yesterday to the Piraeus with Glaucon, son of Ariston."
Industry Reviews
"This new version of Plato's Republic by Sterling and Scott is founded on a sensitively accurate and highly readable fusion of form and content, style, and substance. Plato emerges, as he should, as both thinker and philosophical poet-something that cannot be said of competing versions."
publisher's catalog - William Arrowsmith
"One of the basic books of the European mind and culture, now freshly and readably rendered by Sterling and Scott. I envy the reader who sits in on these conversations for the first time, and with such a readable text."
publisher's catalog - John Ciardi
