Summary

A new interpretation of Plato's Republic. Craig investigates why this dialogue, ostensibly about justice, offers Plato's fullest account of philosophy and philosophers, and why it is preoccupied with war.

Author Biography

Leon Harold Craig teaches in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta. He is also author of The War Lover: A Study of Plato's Republic.
