Plato鈥檚 Republic

Plato鈥檚 Republic

Joe Sachs
Role: Translator
Sachs has been a Tutor at St. John鈥檚 College for over thirty years and is a well renowned translator of Aristotle and Plato.

Focus Philosophical Library’s edition of Plato’s Republic is an English translation of one of the most intellectually important works in Western philosophy and political theory. Based on the latest definitive edition of the Greek text and guided by a sense that Greek in English need not read like an old, foreign tongue, Sachs’ translation captures the flow of the conversation in an English that reads smoothly, even when the ideas expressed force one to pause and look again. Fluid, yet accurate, Sachs’ translation allows the thoughtful reader deeper entry into this all-important book.
