Plato's \u003ci\u003eRepublic \u003c\/i\u003ehas the Greek name of \u003ci\u003ePoliteia\u003c\/i\u003e that Araújo translates as the way of life of the citizens, not the State or the form of government as it more traditionally rendered. Plato's treatise, \u003ci\u003ePoliteia\u003c\/i\u003e, depicts the rich array of patterns emerging from human interaction and enquires into the best amongst them. \u003ci\u003eCooperative Flourishing in Plato's Republic\u003c\/i\u003e returns to these important questions about society  how to live with a vast diversity of personalities, with different interests and abilities, all of them trying to flourish  and asks how best can we share our environment?

This superbly crafted book argues that Plato is most interested in who we are, as citizens, and to show how we need to cooperate with others in order not just to survive, but to thrive. * Nicholas D. Smith, James F. Miller Professor of Humanities Emeritus, Lewis \u0026amp; Clark College, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThought-provoking and entirely original.  Also, well-versed in an unusually wide range of scholarship.  Araujo’s account yields a Platonic conception of citizenship that is likely to inspire rather than to disturb the modern reader. * G.R.F.
