Socrates’ Second Sailing: On Plato’s Republic

Seth Benardete
Role: Author
Benardete’s research was supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Earhart Foundation, and the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung in Munich. He received an honorary degree from Adelphi University.

In this section-by-section commentary, Seth Benardete argues that Plato’s Republic is a holistic analysis of the beautiful, the good, and the just. This book provides a fresh interpretation of the Republic and a new understanding of philosophy as practiced by Plato and Socrates.
