A propos de cet article

PLATO. The Dialogues of Plato. Translated into English with Analyses and Introductions by Benjamin Jowett, M.A., Master of Balliol College, Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Oxford. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1892. *** Monumental and definitive third edition of Benjamin Jowett's English translation of Plato's dialogues, complete in five volumes and representing the final and fullest expression of his lifelong engagement with Plato's philosophy. Widely recognized as the most influential English rendering of Plato in the 19th century, this edition includes Jowett's extensive introductions, marginal summaries, and interpretive commentary materials that established the Victorian standard for Platonic scholarship in English and continue to shape philosophical reading to this day. *** This set is in excellent internal condition: complete, clean, and free of foxing, with all blank leaves present and correct. Each volume is bound in full white vellum of the period, richly gilt on spines and boards, and retaining their original patterned marbled endpapers. As typical for vellum-bound sets of this size, the bindings show minor handling marks and occasional natural soiling; the boards of each volume gently splay when removed from the shelf an expected characteristic of vellum in this format and of no structural concern. Overall, the bindings remain solid, attractive, and highly presentable. *** With the bookplate of Julian Wood Glass Jr. (1910 1992), prominent American businessman, philanthropist, and art collector founder of Glen Burnie Historic House & Gardens, whose personal collection now forms the core of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. *** The 1892 edition marks the final and most authoritative version of Jowett's magisterial project, and remains unmatched in its philosophical clarity and Victorian erudition. Frequently cited, reprinted, and studied well into the 20th century, this edition shaped the English-speaking world's understanding of Plato for generations. *** Plato's dialogues ranging from the Republic and Phaedrus to the Laws, Symposium, and Timaeus form the bedrock of Western philosophy, political theory, and ethics. His exploration of justice, virtue, love, the ideal state, the immortality of the soul, and the nature of knowledge continues to influence disciplines from metaphysics and theology to political science, literature, and education. Jowett s monumental translation, accompanied by his incisive commentary, remains one of the greatest achievements in English classical scholarship a masterwork that brings Plato vividly into the modern intellectual tradition. *** Dimensions: Large octavo (8.8 × 5.5 in; 22.4 × 14 cm). 5 volumes. {This book ships from EU}.…
