About the book
Carlo Sini approaches Plato’s Republic not simply as a sequence of arguments, but as a philosophical drama whose setting, rhetoric and staging help create its authority. Political virtue and desire sit at the centre of his reading, along with the question of how the political subject is formed.
Alessandro Carrera, Giorgio Mobili and Santo Pettinato provide the English translation, with Carrera as editor. Their work brings Sini’s interpretation to an English-language readership while preserving the book’s interest in the theatrical as well as philosophical dimensions of Plato’s dialogue.
