Republic (Oxford World's Classics)
"Robin Waterfield has produced an idiomatic, lively, and thoroughly up-to-date Englishing of Plato'sRepublic....Waterfield...succeeds beautifully...in making engaging English out of Plato's Greek. For this teachers of Greek philosophy owe him gratitude."--Ancient Philosophy"Waterfield's translation is certainly the best of theRepublicavailable.  It is accurate and informed by deep philosophical understanding of the text; unlike other translations it combines these virtues with an impressive ability to render Plato into English that is as varied and expressive as is Plato's Greek."-- Professor Julia Annas, University of Arizona"Translated in an easy, accessible style, as though these were people, not textbooks speaking.  The introduction is lucid and complete."--E.N. Genovese,San Diego State University"An excellent translation and introduction.  The best I have seen."--Tom Christenson,Capital University
