Synopsis

Plato’s text is chiefly concerned with the idea of justice, while also addressing key Platonic theories, including the theory of ideas, a critique of poetry, and the role of the philosopher. It is the source of the well-known cave myth and has served as a prototype for later imagined commonwealths, including those associated with Cicero, St Augustine, and More.

Presented here in Benjamin Jowett’s translation, this edition suits readers seeking a foundational work of classical philosophy.
