Klappentext

This edition includes a select bibliography, a synopsis of each book, a glossary of terms, a glossary and index of names, and a general index.

"Reeve's new translation of Republic is the one to order for students. . . . Reeve draws on his thorough understanding of Plato's central work to provide an informed translation and properly brief supporting apparatus. A highlight is the concise, substantive Introduction that usefully encapsulates much of Reeve's own scholarship."
-P.W. Wakefield, in CHOICE

Zusammenfassung
Taking full extent of S.R. Slings' new Greek text of the Republic, Reeve has given us a translation at once both accurate and limpid. Loving attention to detail and deep familiarity with Plato's thought are evident on every page.
