Plato´s Republic

Everything you need to know about Plato´s Republic in one volume. This book will introduce students to Plato´s Republic and facilitate the reader´s own dialogue with it, without providing an interpretation or a response on the reader´s behalf. Alongside a passage-by-passage commentary on the text, D.J. Sheppard highlights many of the central interpretative challenges faced by the reader and surveys a range of possible responses to them. Designed to be read alongside Plato´s text, this approach will be helpful for students and lecturers alike.
