Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Plato and The Republic (Routledge Philosophy Guidebooks)

The Republic is perhaps the most studied work of philosophy and is a key work in introductory philosophy, ancient philosophy, and political theory courses. The influence of the arguments and positions that Plato puts forward are found in nearly every subject and make a familiarity with the text essential for students. Nikolas Pappas' approach allows the reader to grasp the overall argument of the Republic as well as the individual arguments Plato uses to sustain that argument.
