Plato

The Republic

A New Translation

Richard W, Sterling and William C. Scott

Authoritative and idiomatic, this translation has already established an impressive foothold in the college market.

"One of the basic books of the European mind and culture, now freshly and readably rendered by Sterling and Scott. I envy the reader who sits in on these conversations for the first time, and with such a readable text."-John Ciardi

"This new version of Plato's Republic by Sterling and Scott is founded on a sensitively accurate and highly readable fusion of form and content, style, and substance. Plato emerges, as he should, as both thinker and philosophical poet-something that cannot be said of competing versions."-William Arrowsmith, Emory University

Richard W. Sterling and William C. Scott are emeritus professors at Dartmouth College and authors of several books.
