Plato's Republic: A Ladybird Expert Book
by Angela Hobbs
Plato's Republic is one of the most important philosophy books ever written, but it can be a difficult book to read. Plato's Republic: A Ladybird Expert Book explains very clearly what it's all about in just 24 pages (of text. There are also lovely illustrations). It explains the context and introduces the most important topics that Plato's Republic covers. The author, Angie Hobbs, is a leading Plato scholar and has also written a 100,000-word book on Plato's Republic. "In some ways, this was harder," says Hobbs.
