Publisher's Synopsis
The Republic of Plato is a book that presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the ideal society and government by the renowned philosopher, Plato. The book is a philosophical dialogue between Socrates and other characters who discuss various topics related to justice, morality, and the nature of reality. The central theme of the book is the concept of justice and how it can be achieved in society. Plato argues that justice can only be achieved through a well-ordered society, where each individual performs their role and duty for the greater good of the community. The book also explores the nature of knowledge, the role of education in society, and the relationship between the individual and the state. Thomas Taylor's translation of The Republic of Plato is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and faithful translations of the original Greek text. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, political theory, and the history of Western thought.This is Thomas Taylor's adept translation of Plato's Republic. Plato's �������crowning achievement of art and philosophy.������� �������The idea that runs through the Republic is that the individual presents almost the same features and qualties as society, on a smaller scale, and in his argument Plato first considers the state and thence makes his deductions as to the individual.������� �������Besides the enduring value of the Republic as a work of art, its philosophical and ethical teaching is of particular interest in the present disordered condition of social and speculative ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
