Nonfiction · c. 375 BC
The Republic
Plato · translated by Benjamin Jowett
A conversation in the Piraeus about what justice is becomes, over ten books, the design of an ideal city and of the soul that would inhabit it — the rule of philosophers, the education of guardians, the allegory of the cave, the critique of poetry, the myth of Er. Plato’s Republic, written in the fourth century BC, is the most read work of ancient philosophy.
This edition uses Benjamin Jowett’s English translation, first published in 1871, together with his long introduction and analysis, which made Plato accessible to generations of English readers.
Bibliomancer presents the complete text: Jowett’s introduction and all ten books.
