Description
This book presents an original and detailed reading of Plato's Republic, one of the most influential philosophical works in Western philosophy's emergence. The author examines the Republic through the lens of discursive events and political acts, situating Plato's work within the politico-discursive crisis in Athens during the late fifth and early fourth century BC. That historical context shaped the dialogue's central question about justice. The author reconstructs the Republic's distinct spatial settings - utopian, mythical, dramatic and discursive - to reveal how Plato's philosophical and rhetorical strategies functioned as political interventions. By analysing the text as both a philosophical argument and a performative act, this study offers fresh insights into how the Republic engaged with contemporary Athenian politics and contributed to foundational Western thought. Ideal for scholars of ancient philosophy, classics and political theory.
