The volume that you hold in your hands offers a distinctive alternative to the many editions of Plato''s Republic currently in print. Andrea Tschemplik provides a fresh and accessible translation of Plato''s classic work, specially designed to aid newcomers in better understanding and appreciating the text. In addition, this volume provides a range of student-friendly supplements to enhance the learning experience. A general introduction addresses the standard challenges associated with reading Platonic dialogues, outlines the basic structure of the work, introduces key characters, and offers historical context. Each book begins with a helpful outline, and ends with study questions ideal for classroom discussion, paper assignments, or self-guided consideration of the text. Annotations, appendices, and an extensive index round out the volume.

Industry Reviews

This superior translation has an engaging, constructive tone. For introductory students with little or no historical background with which to appreciate the nuances of Plato's Republic, Tschemplik clearly sets the historical context and identifies the characters. -- P.C. Kemeny, Associate Professor of Religion and Humanities, Grove City Associate Professor of Religion and Humanities, Grove City Associat
