Since its publication in 1974, scholars throughout the humanities have adopted G M A Grube's masterful translation of the Republic as the edition of choice for their study and teaching of Plato's most influential work. In this brilliant revision, C D C Reeve furthers Grube's success both in preserving the subtlety of Plato's philosophical argument and in rendering the dialogue in lively, fluent English, that remains faithful to the original Greek. This revision includes a new introduction, index, and bibliography by Reeve.

14 de septiembre de 1930 – 7 de octubre de 1992
Allan Bloom fue un filósofo y ensayista estadounidense, célebre por su defensa de la educación a través de los "Grandes Libros". Ganó renombre por su crítica a la educación superior estadounidense contemporánea, articulando sus puntos de vista en su exitoso libro.
How higher education has failed democracy and impoverished the souls of today's students.
Long regarded as the most accurate rendering of Plato's Republic that has yet been published, this widely acclaimed work is the first strictly literal translation of a timeless classic. This second edition includes a new introduction by Professor Bloom, whose careful translation and interpretation of The Republic was first published in 1968. In addition to the corrected text itself there is also a rich and valuable essay—as well as indexes—which will better enable the reader to approach the heart of Plato's intention.
