About The Republic

The Republic is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 380 BCE, concerning the definition of justice, the order and character of the just city-state and the just man—for this reason, ancient readers used the name On Justice as an alternative title (not to be confused with the spurious dialogue also titled On Justice). The dramatic date of the dialogue has been much debated and though it might have taken place some time during the Peloponnesian War, "there would be jarring anachronisms if any of the candidate specific dates between 432 and 404 were assigned".Plato's best-known work, it has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. In it, Socrates along with various Athenians and foreigners discuss the meaning of justice and examine whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man by considering a series of different cities coming into existence "in speech", culminating in a city called Kallipolis, which is ruled by philosopher-kings; and by examining the nature of existing regimes. The participants also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of the philosopher and of poetry in society.

In early manhood an admirer of Socrates, he later founded the famous school of philosophy in the grove Academus. Much else recorded of his life is uncertain; that he left Athens for a time after Socrates' execution is probable; that later he went to Cyrene, Egypt, & Sicily is possible; that he was wealthy is likely; that he was critical of 'advanced' democracy is obvious. He lived to be 80 years old. Linguistic tests including those of computer science still try to establish the order of his extant philosophical dialogs, written in splendid prose & revealing Socrates' mind fused w/ Plato's thought.In "Laches", "Charmides", & "Lysis", Socrates & others discuss separate ethical conceptions. "Protagoras", "Ion", & "Meno" discuss whether righteousness can be taught. In "Gorgias", Socrates is estranged from his city's thought, & his fate is impending. The "Apology" (not a dialogue), "Crito", "Euthyphro" & the unforgettable "Phaedo" relate the trial & death of Socrates & propound the immortality of the soul. In the famous "Symposium" & "Phaedrus", written when Socrates was still alive, we find the origin & meaning of love. "Cratylus" discusses the nature of language. The great masterpiece in 10 books, the "Republic", concerns righteousness (& involves education, equality of the sexes, the structure of society, & abolition of slavery). Of the 6 so-called dialectical dialogues "Euthydemus" deals w/ philosophy; metaphysical "Parmenides" is about general concepts & absolute being; "Theaetetus" reasons about the theory of knowledge. Of its sequels, "Sophist" deals w/ not-being; "Politicus" w/ good & bad statesmanship & governments; "Philebus" w/ what is good. The "Timaeus" seeks the origin of the visible universe out of abstract geometrical elements. The unfinished "Critias" treats of lost Atlantis. Unfinished also is Plato's last work of the 12 books of "Laws" (Socrates is absent from it), a critical discussion of principles of law which Plato thought the Greeks might accept. Of a dozen other extant dialogs & also some letters a few may be genuine. Six other extant dialogs have been rejected as spurious since ancient times. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Plato is in twelve volumes. * The LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY is the only existing series of books, which, through original text & facing English translations, gives access to all that is important in Greek & Latin literature. * SHIPPING: We carefully wrap, label & custom-package this Excellent Loeb Classic for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL w/ rates for expedited domestic delivery & international shipment available upon request.
