THE REPUBLIC and other great dialogues by the immortal Greek philosopher PLATO, masterpieces that form part of the most important single body of writing in the history of philosophy, are here translated in a modern version.
Beauty. Love. Immortality. Knowledge and justice are discussed in these dialogues which magnificently express the glowing spirit of Platonic philosophy.
This paperbound volume, containing more dialogues than any other inexpensive edition, was translated by W. H. D. ROUSE, one of the world's most outstanding classical scholars and the translator of Homer's THE ODYSSEY and THE ILIAD.
Now rendered into fresh, exact and lucid English, this comprehensive paperbound edition of PLATO's DIALOGUES provide hours of enlightening reading.
"PLATO is philosophy, and philosophy PLATO."--Emerson
"There has been no adequate translation of PLATO since Iowett, and the time is ripe for one. I think ROUSE has done it."--Dudley Fitts
