BOOK DESCRIPTION
Plato is perhaps the most important philosopher who ever lived, and The Republic, composed in Athens around 375 BC, is widely considered his most famous dialogue. His debate about the perfect city – and the perfect mind – laid the foundation for Western culture and has been the cornerstone of Western philosophy for over two thousand years. As Simon Blackburn writes: “It has probably been the subject of more commentary and the subject of more radical and more passionate disagreement than almost any other great founding text of the modern world. » In Plato's Republic, Simon Blackburn explains the judicial: moral and political ideas in The Republic. Blackburn also examines the remarkable influence and unquestioned staying power of The Republic, and shows why, from St. Augustine to 20th-century philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Henri Bergson, Western thought is still conditioned by this most important book.
