The Republic of Plato
The Republic of Plato, published by Basic Books in its 3rd edition, offers a comprehensive and accessible English translation of Plato’s seminal work. This 528-page edition features enhanced typesetting, text-to-speech, and screen reader support for an improved reading experience.
Long regarded as the most accurate rendering of Plato’s Republic that has yet been published, this widely acclaimed translation by Allan Bloom was the first to take a strictly literal approach. In addition to the annotated text, there is also a rich and valuable essay — as well as indices — which will enable readers to better understand the heart of Plato’s intention.
This edition includes an introduction by renowned critic Adam Kirsch, setting the work in its intellectual context for a new generation of students and readers.
