内容简介
An authoritative new translation of Plato's foundational work of Western philosophy The Republic is Plato's masterwork. It was written 2,400 years ago and remains one of the most widely read books in the world, famous for both the richness of its ideas and the virtuosity of its writing. Presented as a dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to study philosophy, inviting its readers to reflect on the choices we must make if we are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work creates a picture of an ideal society governed not money, power, or fame, but by philosophy, wisdom, and justice.
《理想国》涉及柏拉图思想体系的各个方面,包括哲学、伦理、教育、文艺、政治等内容,主要是探讨理想国家的问题。 《理想国》一书是柏拉图的一篇重要对话录,对话录里柏拉图以苏格拉底之口通过与其他人对话的方式设计了一个真、善、美相统一的政体,即可以达到公正的理想国。柏拉图的理想国是人类历史上最早的乌托邦。在他的理想国里统治者必须是哲学家,他认为现存的政治都是坏的,人类的真正出路在于哲学家掌握政权,也只有真正的哲学家才能拯救当时城邦所处的危机。这种信念构成了柏拉图成熟的政治哲学体系的核心。在他的眼里“哲学家”有着特殊的内涵。他认为哲学家是最高尚、最有学识的人,而这种贤人统治下的贤人政体就是最好是政体。所以,只有建立以哲学家为国王的国家才是最理想的国家。这个国家就是存在于天上的模范国家。
