"A judicious mix of new voices and more familiar ones, Santas' <i>Guide</i> is a terrific resource for students and teachers of Plato's masterwork. It should command a wide readership and be in every library." <i>C. D. C. Reeve, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill</i> <br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>This is a splendid collection of essays. The contributors are not content with rehashing old material but demonstrate how it is still possible to engage with the Republic in new and philosophically stimulating ways. It provides a first-rate guide both to the Republic itself and to some of the most exciting developments in its interpretation. <i>R F Stalley, University of Glasgow</i><br /> </p> <p><br /> </p> <p>"This is a valuable collection. We should be grateful to Gerasimos Santas, and to each of the contributors to this volume, for the new light they have shed on Plato's masterpiece." <i>Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews</i></p>

<i><b>The Blackwell Guide to Plato's Republic</b></i> consists of thirteen new essays written by both established scholars and younger researchers with the specific aim of helping readers to understand Plato's masterwork. <p>The essays shed new light on many central features and themes of the <i><b>Republic</b></i> including: Plato's literary and philosophical style; his use of myths, metaphors, and allegories; his theories of justice and knowledge; and his treatment of psychology, education, myth, and the divine. Contributors include Christopher Rowe, David Keyt, Jonathan Lear, Terry Penner, Rachel Barney, and Hendrik Lorenz.</p> <p>Written clearly and simply, this volume is the ideal companion for readers coming to the <i><b>Republic</b></i> for the first time, and will also be of interest to those returning to this foundational work of the Western canon.</p>
