Description

Explore a deep reading of Plato's Republic with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines one of the most influential texts in the history of Western philosophy through the lens of discursive events and political acts. Dr. Ophir provides a unique perspective by analyzing the Republic within the context of the politico-discursive crisis in Athens during the late fifth and early fourth centuries B.C. By examining the primary question of justice, this text offers a fresh way to understand the foundations of political thought. Dr. Ophir reconstructs the various spatial settings found within the dialogue, including the utopian, mythical, dramatic, and discursive elements. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in ancient history, political philosophy, and the origins of Western thought.
