A major new translation of one of the central works of Western Civilization

R. E. Allenâs highly regarded translations of the dialogues of Plato have been praised for their faithfulness and readability. Many years in the making, his translation of The Republic has been eagerly awaited. It comes now to crown a distinguished classicistâs efforts to make Platoâs works available in readable and accurate translations. This new, lucid translation of Platoâs greatest dialogue is the first major translation in English since the publication of F. M. Cornfordâs and G. M. A. Grubeâs renditions more than a generation ago. It is likely to be the standard translation for years to come.

This edition, intended for the student and general reader, is accompanied by Allenâs notes and introduction. The Republic is, of course, many things: metaphysics and epistemology, moral psychology and ethics, educational theory and aesthetics, and poetry and eschatology. In his introduction, Allen takes up its threshold questionâ"the politicalâ"and argues that its particular formulation by Plato had a direct and profound influence on the Founding Fathers and the development of American constitutional law.
