LAFONTE. new. A Repblica � a obra mais importante de Plato fil�sofo grego que viveu entre os s�culos V e IV antes de Cristo. De car�ter pol�tico prega um Estado ideal governado por l�deres justos s�bios e instru�dos. Para Plato o homem capaz de reunir essas qualidades seria o fil�sofo. Ele mesmo teve a oportunidade de colocar em pr�tica suas ideias por trs vezes todas fracassadas. Em A Repblica Plato passa em revista todos os sistemas de governo existentes na �poca e analisa sobretudo a aristocracia a oligarquia a democracia e a ditadura. Ainda que reconhea que sua repblica � uma utopia defende que esse seria o nico caminho para uma sociedade perfeita. parte alguns princ�pios sociais inaceit�veis hoje tudo � de tamanha atualidade que at� parece retratar os nossos dias apesar de ter sido escrita h� mais de 2.300 anos.

PLATO. The Greater Hippias: A Dialogue of Plato Concerning The Beautifull. London: H. Woodfall 1759. First Edition. Quarto 127 pages. Modern calf-backed marbled boards fresh endpapers. In the Greater  Hippias Socrates and Hippias set out to find a definition for "beauty" but are destined to fail due to their inability to formulate an answer which encompasses the entire concept. The text has an anatreptic purpose-- that is the result of the dialogue is to defeat commonly held opinions without necessarily offering a resolution. The Platonic concept of something "good in and of itself" makes its first appearance in this early dialogue which can be read as much as a serious philosophical work as a light satirical comedy with two actors. Translated by Floyer Sydenham whose Platonic scholarship was credited with "'just criticism and extensive learning an elegant taste and a genius naturally philosophic' by Thomas Taylor. Leaves rippled somewhat with light foxing. In very good condition. unknown books
