has shaped western thought for thousands of years, remaining as relevant

today as when it was first written in the Ancient Greece. This Penguin

Classics edition is translated by Desmond lee with a new introduction by

Melissa Lane.Plato's Republic is widely acknowledged as the cornerstone

of Western philosophy. Presented in the form of a dialogue between

Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an enquiry into the notion

of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the

conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality;

what is knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of

education and the role of both women and men as 'guardians' of the

people. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at

a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by 'philosopher

kings'.Desmond Lee's translation of The Republic has come to be

regarded as a classic in its own right. His introduction discusses

contextual themes such as Plato's disillusionment with Athenian politics

and the trial of Socrates. The new introduction by Melissa Lane discusses

Plato's aims in writing The Republic, its major arguments and its

perspective on politics in ancient Greece, and its significance through the

ages and today.Plato (c.427-347 BC) stands with Socrates and Aristotle

as one of the shapers of the whole intellectual tradition of the West. He

founded in Athens the Academy, the first permanent institution devoted

to philosophical research and teaching, and the prototype of all Western

universities. If you enjoyed The Republic, you might like Machiavelli's
