The Republic of Plato Paperback / softback
Edited by James Adam
Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
James Adam (1860–1907) was a Scottish classics scholar who taught at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
A strong defender of the importance of Greek philosophy in a well-rounded education, Adam published a number of Plato's works including Protagoras and Crito.
This two-volume critical edition of the Republic (1902) was another major contribution to the field.
Though his preface claims 'an editor cannot pretend to have exhausted its significance by means of a commentary,' Adam's depth of knowledge and erudite analysis of the Greek text ensured that his edition remained the standard reference for decades to follow, and it remains a thought-provoking evaluation of one of the great works of Western thought.
Volume 2 examines Books 6–10, which discuss the place of the philosopher and questions of governance.
