The Republic by Plato | Easton Press 1980

The Republic by Plato, published by Easton Press, 1980. Condition is extremely good to mint with no obvious signs of wear.

Written around 375 BC, The Republic is one of the foundational works of Western philosophy. Told as a dialogue led by Socrates, it asks what justice is and what an ideal society would look like. Along the way it introduces some of philosophy’s best-known ideas, including the allegory of the cave and the philosopher-king. Plato was a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, and founded the Academy in Athens, often described as the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. More than two thousand years later, The Republic is still a core text in philosophy, politics, and ethics courses.

The Easton Press fine leather binding presents this landmark of ancient thought in a beautifully produced collectors edition in near flawless condition.

A wonderful addition for collectors of philosophy, classical literature, the foundational texts of Western thought, or Easton Press editions.
