The Republic

The unabridged version of this definitive work is now available as an elegantly designed clothbound edition with a new introduction by Odysseus Makridis. Part of the Knickerbocker Classics series, an elastic closure and flexible binding make this timeless book a perfect travel companion. Published around 380 BCE, Plato's most famous work explores the idea of justness, among other things, through a Socratic dialogue. Considered to be one of the most influential writings in the development of Western philosophy and political theory, Republic is as relevant today as when it was originally published.
