Review
Joe Sachs, known and respected for his excellent translations of Aristotle, deserves great praise for this new translation of Plato's Republic. Based on the latest definitive edition of the Greek text and guided by a sense that Greek in English need not read like an old, foreign tongue, Sachs' translation captures the flow of the conversation in an English that reads smoothly, even when the ideas expressed force one to pause and look again. Fluid, yet accurate, Sachs' translation allows the thoughtful reader deeper entry into this all-important book. The editorial guides and typographical signs to remind the reader of who has joined the argument most recently are all highly helpful and most welcome. I look forward to reading this with students. --~ Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland
Product Description
Based on the latest and most authoritative edition of the Republic available, this careful translation provides the groundwork by which students can come to their own understanding of this seminal work of Western thought, as is appropriate for courses in core curriculum which emphasize students dealing directly with Great Books. Other useful features include a chapter-by-chapter outline of principal speakers and summary of the content, Stephanus numbers, boldface type to indicate the entrance of a new speaker into the discussion, footnotes, and glossary of key terms with cross references for the text
Joe Sachs taught for thirty years at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. He has translated Aristotle's Physics, Metaphysics and On the Soul and, for the Focus Philosophical Library, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Poetics as well as Plato's Theaetetus.

评分一、简析“洞穴比喻”的含义 如果说《理想国》是一部关于哲学的戏剧,那么以“洞穴比喻”为核心的三大比喻可谓是这部戏剧的高潮和精华所在。 洞穴比喻主要描述了这样一个故事:有一个洞穴式的地下室,它通过一条长而斜的通道与外界相连,有一些人从小就住在这里,他们头颈和...
评分 评分这是篇读书笔记,为什么读了这本书?可能起源于内心一些完美主义的东西。 这一年,给自己列了个很长的书单,想把西方经典里和科学有关的东西全读一遍,弄清楚" 科学"这个概念在西方是怎么发展到现在的,以更好的了解什么是科幻。 西方最早没有科学的概念,科学是...

评分2017005——做参考,圣约翰用的本子,感觉还是Bloom的好用一点...不过370A那样由来已久的争议翻译问题还是没个解决...每卷提要放在了卷首,这点个赞。
