"Taking full advantage of S. R. Slings' new Greek text of the Republic, Reeve has given us atranslation at once both accurate and limpid. Loving attention to detail and deepfamiliarity with Plato's thought are evident on every page. Reeve's brilliant decision tocast the dialogue into direct speech produces a compelling impression of immediacyunmatched by other English translations currently available."--Lloyd P. Gerson, University of Toronto
