Republic is the central work of the Western world's most famous philosopher. Essentially an inquiry into morality, Republic also contains crucial arguments and insights into many other areas of philosophy. It is also a literary masterpiece: the philosophy is presented for the most part for the ordinary reader, who is carried along by the wit and intensity of the dialogue and by Plato's unforgettable images of the human condition.

This new, lucid translation by Robin Waterfield is complemented by full explanatory notes and an up-to-date critical introduction.

柏拉图（公元前427年―公元前347年），古希腊伟大的哲学家之一。柏拉图师承大哲学家苏格拉底（公元前469年―公元前399年），承前启后，同时他也是另一位古希腊史上很重要的哲学家亚里士多德的老师。他出身贵族，一生致力于哲学研究，以哲学为人生非常高理想。他的学习能力和个人才华令古希腊人折服并称其为阿波罗之子。他对世界的贡献除了哲学思想，有形的还要数雅典学院的创办。

Plato(c.427-347 BC) stands with Socrates and Aristotle as one of the shapers of the whole intellectual tradition of the West. He founded in Athens the Academy, the first permanent institution devoted to philosophical research and teaching, and the prototype of all Western universities.
