    <![CDATA[Long regarded as the most accurate rendering of Plato's <em>Republic</em> that has yet been published, this widely acclaimed work is the first strictly literal translation of a timeless classic. This second edition includes a new introduction by Professor Bloom, whose careful translation and interpretation of <em>The Republic</em> was first published in 1968. In addition to the correct text itself there is also a rich and valuable essay--as well as indexes and a glossary of terms--which will better enable the reader  to approach the heart of Plato's intention.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[All the criticisms of Plato are valid.  He raises straw arguments.  He manipulates discussions unfairly.  He doesn't offer realistic solutions.  And so no.<br/><br/>But he is still, and for very good reason, the most influential philosopher in Western civilization.  He makes people think.
