Public țintă

The Republic is probably the most studied and widely read work of philosophy, and is the most important of Plato′s dialogues. It is studied by students at all levels, from beginners to graduates, in ancient philosophy, ethics, political science, epistemology and metaphysics.
This book will be written with those coming to the text for the first time expressly in mind. However, Santas′ skill of bringing Plato into dialogue with modern philosophers should interest readers at all levels.

Where this fits

In addition to this book, Jerry Santas is also editing our Guide to Plato′s Republic, and Hugh Benson is editing a Companion to Plato. Early next year we will be publishing David Roochnik′s Introduction to Ancient Greek Philosophy and Mary Louise Gill′s Companion to Ancient Philosophy.
