Plato's Republic

by Plato  ·  Translated and distilled by Owen Halloway

A Modern Voice edition, distilled from our own complete translation of the original.

Plato's Republic asks why be just when injustice so often seems to pay. Socrates follows that question through the ring of Gyges, the ideal city, the philosopher-rulers, the Allegory of the Cave, and the soul's fate. This Modern Voice edition is distilled from our complete translation of the Greek.
