A penetrating close account of the ideas found in Plato's most important work When the winds fall, the sailor picks up his oars, no longer relying on help outside his own power. This “second sailing,” according to the distinguished classicist Seth Benardete, is the essence of Socratic philosophizing In this section-by-section commentary on Plato's most important dialogue, Benardete argues that the Republic is such a self-powered, holistic analysis of the beautiful, the good, and the just. This book provides a fresh interpretation of the Republic and a new understanding of philosophy as practiced by Plato and Socrates. Read more
