I have bee intimidated to launch onto the world of the Republic - however I bought this book with the hope that I could read AND understand the book that is probably the most referenced piece in political science, philosophy, etc. I was delighted to read this book for two major reasons - 1. The translation is in easy to comprehend modern English 2. Prior to each section the author prospectively reviews... more

It is a really simple book in terms of format and is accurate to the original texts; I'll let... more

Publisher: Hackett Pub Co Inc
2002-11
I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle.
Topic of Metaphysics is Ousia=substance and being. What is the meaning of being? With respect to matter and form, it is primarily about form. Analytically both can be separate and distinct, but not in reality. One can analyze matter by potentiality and actuality. Matter can't answer the question of being without form. Some natural things... more

| 7. Plato on Love: Lysis, Symposium, Phaedrus, Alcibiades, with Selections from Republic and Laws |
|
By: Plato
Publisher: Hackett Publishing Company
March 30, 2006
These approachable translations make Plato so much easier to understand and follow, and when Socrates takes his interlocutor for a logical roller-coaster, following is essential. The translations might seem elementary compared to other floral translations of Plato, but in my experience, Greek is a rather simple language, and following the word meaning and grammar literally often produces translations... more
