EBOOK Republic

Republic is the central work of the Western world&'s most famous philosopher. Essentially an inquiry into morality, Republic also contains crucial arguments and insights into many other areas of philosophy. It is also a literary masterpiece: the philosophy is presented for the most part for the ordinary reader, who is carried along by the wit and intensity of the dialogue and by Plato&'s unforgettable images of the human condition.   This new, lucid translation by Robin Waterfield is complemented by full explanatory notes and an up-to-date critical introduction.
