D. C. Reeve  G. M. A. Grube  Alexander Nehamas  and Paul Woodruff. The collection features Socrates as its central character and a model of the examined life. Its range allows us to see him in action in very different settings and philosophical modes: from the elenctic Socrates of the Meno and the dialogues concerning his trial and death  to the erotic Socrates of the Symposium and Phaedrus  to the dialectician of the Republic. Of Reeves translation of this final masterpiece  Lloyd P. Gerson writes  \"Taking full advantage of S. R. Slings new Greek text of the Republic  Reeve has given us a translation both accurate and limpid. Loving attention to detail and deep familiarity with Platos thought are evident on every page. Reeves brilliant decision to cast the dialogue into direct speech produces a compelling impression of immediacy unmatched by other English translations currently available.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647596617781,"sku":"ByrdShop_1603848118","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781603848114.jpg?v=1781695048","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-plato-reader-eight-essential-dialogues-hackett-classics-9781603848114","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
