The most important of the Socratic dialogues, the Republic is concerned with the construction of an ideal commonwealth and thus wins its place as the earliest of utopias.

Historical
Long regarded as the most accurate rendering of Plato's
Republic that has yet been published, this widely acclaimed
work is the first strictly literal translation of a timeless
classic. This second edition includes a new introduction by
Professor Bloom, whose careful translation and
interpretation of The Republic was first published in 1968.
In addition to the correct text itself there is also a rich
and valuable essay--as well as indexes and a glossary of
terms--which will better enable the reader to approach the
heart of Plato's intention.
