In my opinion, Sheppard fulfils his purpose very well. As an introduction, this book clearly addresses readers new to philosophical classics and has consequently a very simple structure: it takes them through the text step-by-step... It could also be useful for 'continental' scholars who are not really working on Plato but must teach the Republic in their courses, as it provides a short but good overview of recent interpretations of the dialogue in English speaking areas. -- Diego De Brasi, Otto-Friedrich-Universitat Bamberg Bryn Mawr Classical Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries Editor's Preface; Author's Preface; Introductory Questions; A Guide to the Text; Book I (327a-354c); Books II-V (357a-471b); Books V-VII (471c-541b); Books VIII-X (543a-621d); Study Aids; Glossary; Types of Question You will Encounter; Common Assessment Criteria; Tips for Writing about Plato; Bibliography and Guide to Further Reading; Index.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404482158935,"sku":"9780748627790","price":19.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780748627790.jpg?v=1730486604","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sheppard-d-platos-republic-9780748627790","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
