Description
Plato’s Republic, in this acclaimed translation by G.M.A. Grube (revised by C.D.C. Reeve), presents one of the foundational texts of Western philosophy in language that is both clear and faithful to the original. This edition offers a compelling exploration of justice, politics, education, and the nature of the soul, all framed within a rich and dramatic dialogue led by Socrates.
Set in ancient Athens, the dialogue moves through a wide range of philosophical inquiries—from the definition of justice to the structure of an ideal society, the role of the philosopher, and the famous Allegory of the Cave. Grube’s translation is known for its precision and readability, while Reeve’s careful revision sharpens the philosophical clarity and enhances the flow of the text.
Ideal for students and general readers alike, this edition makes Plato’s complex ideas accessible without sacrificing depth, offering an enduring and thought-provoking journey into one of history’s most influential works of political and moral philosophy.
