“Bloom membuat terjemahan harfiah, begitu janji beliau. Dan beliau marah mereka yang membuat terjemahan bebas, konon untuk terus kepada maksud. Kata beliau terjemahan semangat mengkhianati Plato. Beliau memberi nota yang baik dan amat membantu untuk mengikuti isu-isu yang diperdebatan.”

“This is one of the basic books in the history of philosophy. I always dreamed of becoming a philosopher-king. It didn't exactly work out that way, but it was a great ideal to have while passing through life. So many of Plato's fundamental ideas are to be found in this long dialogue. There is much here to stimulate the imagination of how things could be.”

“I have read several translations of the Republic and Bloom's is undoubtedly my favorite among them. His translation is both accurate and readable. It feels natural, giving new life to an often petulantly endured classic. My family thought I was crazy when they saw I was laughing out loud reading Plato, but such is the life brought to the conversations in its pages. The absurdity of Plato's attacks is not just ample, it's funny.”
