The Republic of Plato

by Plato
1362 members / 0 friends / 9 groups / 27 reviews / 73 tags

Long regarded as the most accurate rendering of Plato’s Republic that has yet been published, this widely acclaimed work is the first strictly literal translation of a timeless classic. This second edition includes a new introduction by Professor Bloom, whose careful translation and interpretation of The Republic was first published in 1968. In addition to the corrected text itself there is also a rich and valuable essay—as well as indexes—which will better enable the reader to approach the heart of Plato’s intention.

    Among those who debate i manifest as the dialectic.BHAGVAT GITA CHAPTER 9 VERSE 32.I truly enjoyed reading this book specially the part where the discussion goes about a soldier who is in confusion whether he should fight war or flee from the battle field. the situation is analogous to PRISONER'S DILEMMA and the soldier reaches the conclusion which is consistent with GAME THEORY WHICHG WAS PROPOSED BY JOHN F. NASH MUCH LATER IN 20TH CENTURY.
