| 1. |  | Plato: The Republic (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) from Cambridge University Press Price: $12.59 Customer Review:  "The Republic" is Plato's classical utopia, and perhaps one of the most controversial political texts ever written. It's so absurd that some people deny that Plato really meant it! Strange Aristotle never noticed. And yet, those who believe that "The Republic" shouldn't be taken literally probably... |

| 2. |  | The Republic Of Plato: Second Edition from Basic Books Price: $15.61 Customer Review: Bloom's essay is possibly the best commentary on Plato I've read. An overly simple summary is that he suggests many of Socrates' proposals were intentionally preposterous, with the aim of leading his interlocutors to grasp that no truly legitimate political system is possible, and that the best... |

| 3. |  | Plato Complete Works from Hackett Publishing Company Price: $43.64 Customer Review:  I STILL HAVE NOT RECIEVED MY BOOK. IT IS WAY PAST DUE. IF I DO NOT GET A REFUND OR THE BOOK SOON I WILL BE TURNING FRADULENT TRANSACTION OVER TO MY ATTORNEY! I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM WITH AMAZON AND THEY HAVE BEEN OF LITTLE HELP. I WILL NEVER USE AMAZON.COM AGAIN AND I RECOMMEND TO OTHERS THAT... |

| 4. |  | The Republic (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $8.00 Customer Review: My intent is not to bog down the reader with a lot of drivel. This is one of the better copies of the republic I have seen and read. I would have prefered a hardcover version, but at this price it is a steal. There are copious footnotes and references which further assist the reader in... |

| 6. |  | The Last Days of Socrates (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.40 Customer Review: I am probably alone in thinking that Socrates was a pompous windbag and that the citizens of Athens deserve a small award for putting and end to his tedious speeches. This book is pure propaganda suggesting that Socrates was a saintly figure martyred by the evil mob. They had concocted ridiculous... |

| 7. |  | Five Dialogues from Hackett Publishing Company Price: $6.95 Customer Review: I highly recommend this book. It made me want to read more of Plato's dialogues. Anyone that even slightly desires read about philosophy should at least start wih this as a primer. |

| 8. |  | Classic Philosopphy: Complete Dialogues of Plato, in a single file, with active table of contents from B&R Samizdat Express Price: $0.99 Customer Review: The price is great, but the table of content is no good. There is no way to navigate to books within books. For example, you can go to the laws, but you cannot go directly to book X of the laws. Also, there is no accurate way to jump past the commentary and go straight to the work. They need a table... |

| 9. |  | Great Dialogues of Plato from Signet Classics Price: $6.95 Customer Review:  There is no point in trying to detract from the works of Plato themselves; anyone who is buying a collection of his dialogues is already convinced of his preeminence in Western philosophy. This translation, however, is honestly lousy, and it surprises me how well it seems to have been received.... |

| 12. |  | Symposium from Hackett Pub Co Inc Price: $8.95 Customer Review: Plato's Symposium isn't an easy to follow book. There are two sections to it. The first one deals with the lesser arguments on Eros. The second portion deals with the greater argument on Eros, viewing it through a series in initiations rather than through a set pattern. As I said, it's not an... |

| 13. |  | Gorgias (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $8.95 Customer Review: I did not receive the item because they were out of stock, so I really can not rate the service. This is the first time that I have bought from this particular company, so I have no comment. However, if i was to rate this particular occasion, i would give it a 1 because I could not get what i... |

| 14. | [no image] | Four Texts on Socrates: Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito and Aristophanes' Clouds from Cornell University Press Customer Review: Professor West's translations here are the standard translations for those who know, which is to say those who believe interpretation is fundamentally dependent upon exactly which words Plato chose to use. This should simply be a given, but there are too many who believe loose interpretations which... |

| 15. |  | Laws from Cosimo Classics Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I read this book as part of my research into Plato himself. It's hard for me to see how relevant a book like this is today. Plato's world was very different than today. People owned slaves, there was no internet or mass communications, Christianity didn't even exist yet, etc.. However it... |

| 16. |  | The Collected Dialogues of Plato: Including the Letters (Bollingen Series LXXI) from Princeton University Press Price: $39.60 Customer Review: The famed British philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead was a tremendous admirer of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato's cosmically comprehensive thought and great literary writing talent. For the past thirty five years I have immersed myself as an amateur Plato scholar. Plato... |

| 17. |  | The Symposium (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $9.00 Customer Review: I've read quite a few pieces of ancient Roman & Greek literature and each time I come away greatly surprised at how these 2000 to 3000-year old cultures were so similar to ours in many ways. Well, Plato's somewhat short dialogue "The Symposium" both re-affirms and counters these past... |

| 18. |  | Plato : Phaedrus: A Translation With Notes, Glossary, Appendices, Interpretive Essay and Introduction (Focus Philosophical Library) from Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company Price: $8.76 Customer Review: _I have heard some call this work a confused jumble of unrelated concepts. These people just didn't get it. There is one unified theme to the Phaedrus: without a deep connection to the soul and to the higher Reality only accessible to the soul, then all human endeavors are in error. _The first... |

| 19. |  | Symposium (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $8.95 Customer Review: The Symposium of Plato is a profoundly thought-provoking, entertaining and inspiring piece of philosophical writing. It is very short, yet infinitely more substantial than many longer works. We are in Athens, 416 B.C.E. The scene is a banquet at the house of Agathon, who had the day before... |

| 20. |  | Timaeus and Critias (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Excellent book. Since I've been reading many books about Atlantis and Lemuria and attending the Ancient Mysteries Conferences at Association of Research and Enlightenment (Edgar Cayce), I was interested in reading Plato's version of Atlantis which seems to be from what much of the insights are... |

| 21. |  | Plato: Timaeus, Critias, Cleitophon, Menexenus, Epistles (Loeb Classical Library No. 234) from Loeb Classical Library Price: $19.20 Customer Review: Are you vain and plan to rule the world with good looks and ambition? Well, Alcibiades is the book for you! In Plato's attempt to speak the truth about his teacher Socrates he wrote a little known book called "Alcibiades". In this dialogue Socrates deconstructs the vanity of Alcibiades, and informes... |

| 22. |  | The Republic from Yale University Press Price: $24.75 Customer Review: This is the translation everyone should read. It's extremely easy to read and it turns the otherwise difficult dialogue in to a type of readable story line that keeps you interested in the mind blowing issues being discussed only a couple thousand years ago. This version definitely brings Plato's... |

| 23. |  | Plato's Symposium: A Translation by Seth Benardete with Commentaries by Allan Bloom and Seth Benardete from University Of Chicago Press Price: $14.40 Customer Review: The great Seth Benardete has provided an accurate and intriguing translation of this classic masterpiece. The "Ladder of Love" by Bloom is also included, and is as equally important to a fuller understanding of the symposium as a good translation is. *Note: the ladder of love is a chapter... |

| 24. |  | Republic (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I've been using the Oxford World's Classics edition of Republic for three years now to teach freshmen, and Waterfield's translation and endnotes are great. His choice to render dikaiosyne as "morality" rather than "justice" allows a range of discussion with American students that travels outside the... |

| 25. |  | Defence of Socrates, Euthyphro, Crito (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $10.16 Customer Review: For teachers looking for something between a comprehensive collection of the dialogues and a photocopied hand-out, this little edition nicely fits the bill. It's an extremely user-friendly translation with a generous introduction and copious but clear and concise endnotes. The editor admittedly... |

| 26. |  | Plato's Republic (complete) from Agora Publications, Incorporated Price: $19.60 Customer Review: The CD version is $125, but you get all 10 books of the Republic on 10 CDs. Each book has its own CD, each an hour or longer. It's not just 1 reader. The book is a dialog and the audio book version has a number of actors playing the different roles of the dialog. William Siglis plays Socrates and he... |

| 27. | [no image] | Phaedrus from IndyPublish Price: $22.99 Customer Review: In this book written by Plato, Socrates is again proving his brilliance (as Plato always has him doing). Phaedrus brings to Socrates a letter from a man claiming that it is better to have sex with a man who doesn't love you than one who does. Socrates then gives his response as to why it is better... |

| 28. |  | Protagoras and Meno (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $8.80 Customer Review: We can all understand the concept of translating a complicated work into one which is slightly more accessible to the general public. This latest incarnation, however, suggests the good people at penguin see the general public as being rather stupid. This version of Protagoras and Meno is so... |

| 29. |  | The Dialogues of Plato, Volume 1: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Gorgias, Menexenus (The Dialogues of Plato) from Yale University Press Price: $23.40 Customer Review: The five volumes that Allen has produced so far are much more than just another set of translations of Plato. They provide a coherent and accessible stand-alone course of study in Platonic philosophy. One can start right from the Preface of the fist volume and read them all straight through to the... |
