This review is from: City and Soul in Plato's Republic (Paperback)
If you want a general introduction to Plato's Republic don't buy this book. There are many books better for your purposes. This, however, is an excellently argued critique of scholarly thought on a rich, but abstruse issue in Platonic studies. If you can follow the argument (i.e. if you know Republic and or the other dialogues very well) this is book is like Ariadne's thread leading you through the maze of Republic (or is that Phaedo). You won't have trouble with Ferrari's prose, which is as fine as ever (I also reviewed "Listening for Cicadas"). Anyway, it's a great read and though I just bought this copy I will probably have to get another soon. Too much marginalia and underlining.
