Book Description
An accessible companion to one of Plato's most important works now in a welcome updated second edition. It leads the reader through Plato's life, the background to the Republic, its text and ideas and its continuing influence on Western thought.
In this second edition of the highly successful Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Plato and the Republic, Nickolas Pappas extends his exploration of the text to include substantial revisions and new material. In addition to the existing text, the chapters on Plato's ethics and politics have been revised and enlarged to include two brand new sections. There is further discussion of Plato on aesthetics including a section of Aristotle's criticism of Plato on beauty.
Review
“Admirably clear and accessible…. Throughout, one gets a sense of a skillful lecturer who is adept at rendering Plato’s thoughts into terms that contemporary students will understand.” -- Mind
“It is a helpful book designed for the beginner, but does not shirk difficulties. It is difficult to imagine a more helpful book to put in the hands of a student, and should go immediately onto all reading lists.” -- Greece and Rome
