The Republic of Plato translated by H. Spens D.D. 1

Plato's Republic, translated by H. Spens and published in Everyman's Library, is a foundational text of Western philosophy exploring justice, the ideal city-state (Kallipolis), the just soul, and the philosopher-king, using Socratic dialogue to define justice and contrast it with injustice, covering ethics, politics, metaphysics (like the Allegory of the Cave), and education through a series of discussions among Socrates and others. Spens' translation, originally from 1763, includes his own discourse on ancient philosophy, offering a historical perspective on this enduring work. ** Note, there is a personal inscription in the front cover (see photo) this is the only marking found in this book.
