'The first edition of this work now long out of print appeared over sixty years ago. Since then there has been no detailed commentary on the 'Republic' to supersede it. This reprinted edition is therefore most welcome. Dr. Rees has added an introduction which first relates Adams' views especially those on the metaphysical doctrine of the 'Republic' to the general tendencies of the Platonic scholarship of his day and then briefly surveys a few controversial passages in the light of more recent literature. Many obvious virtues of the commentary are unaffected by the passage of time. His notes on particles idioms metaphors and the like illustrated extensively by referenced to other dialogues and other Greek authors remain a valuable contribution to our understanding of the text. His wide scholarship and careful attention to detail are both reflected in ful explanatory notes on the numerous allusions in the 'Republic' to Greek poetry music religion and history. . It is principally in its philosophical interpretations and attitudes that the commentary shows its age. There is still much that is valuable in Adam's notes in this respect.'

Kok/Agora Kampen 1992. 198p. Paperback. Stamps 'beschadigd' on first pages. Nevertheless a good copy. De teksten in dit boek afkomstig uit de Phaedo de Timaeus de Euthydemus en de Sophistes geven Plato's reactie te zien op een complex van metafysische taalfiososfische en logische problemen die de filosofie van Herakleitos en het denken van Parmenides hadden opgeroepen en die een belangrijke vron vormden voor het met name in sofistische krijngen gangbare scepticisme en relativisme die in feite een crisis in het logisch denken betekenden. Met Plato's oplossing van deze problemen is de weg vrijgemaakt voor het ontstaan van de logica als formele wetenschap zoals we die bij Aristoteles aantreffen. Publisher's information. paperback
Cambridge University Press Cambridge . 2008. XXXV91p. Hard bound. Sheffield's Introduction does a nice job of explaining the backgrounds of most characters - though more details appear in the Glossary of Names. She also helps the reader understand the significance - within the text and within the historical setting - of both eros and of symposia. She then offers a brief account of each speech showing how the early speeches relate to each other as well as how each raises aspects of problems confronted in Socrates' speech. Sheffield then offers a more detailed analysis of Socrates' speech the speech in which Socrates relates the conversation that he may have once had with a woman named Diotima. Sheffield's account draws on her compelling recent book Plato's Symposium: 'The Ethics of Desire.' . Following the Introduction is a brief Chronology a regrettably brief bibliography 'Further reading' a Translator's Note and the text of the dialogue. The book ends with a very thorough glossary of Greek terms as well as a glossary of names. These last are quite useful and would clearly benefit both undergraduate and postgraduate readers. . The translation itself is clear and intelligible and has a helpful if almost frightening number of footnotes 227 notes for the dialogue's 51 Stephanus pages. Some notes offer the transliterated Greek word while others contain extensive historical or philosophical information for the reader as with note 15 which details the typical seating arrangements at symposia.'
