This 2nd edition includes a new Interpretive Essay & Notes by Professor Bloom, whose careful translation & interpretation of "The Republic" was first published in 1968. In addition to the corrected text (1991) & Professor Bloom's rich & valuable new interpretive essay (as well as the carefully-prepared notes & indexes), this edition is further enhanced with an enlightening new introduction by the noted poet & critic Adam Kirsch. The ensemble of Professor Bloom's scrupulous lucid literal translation & these additional enhancements make this the best edition of "The Republic" ever published. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "The best available English translation . . . compels intelligent readers to come to grips with what Plato actually wrote." -Harry Neumann, American Political Science Review * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: ALLAN BLOOM (1930-1992) was Professor of Social Thought at the University of Chicago.
