A good, persuasive study,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Plato's Republic: A Study (Hardcover)
I am a beginner in the study of philosophy. For that reason, I enjoyed Rosen's lucid style, and his preference for avoiding technicisms unless they're absolutely necessary. His arguments are sound and persuasive, and his interpretative practice encourages the reader to engage in a more critical, close reading of Plato's Republic. I am afraid that maybe he's too persuasive, and thus may simplify some problems in the mind of unexperienced readers like myself. In other words, it's hard not to agree with him on everything unless you re-read certain passages by yourself. Besides, the readers of the Republic are legion, and count among them some of the brightest minds of Western culture. In sum, I enjoyed Prof. Rosen's book very much, and I recommend it highly, although I do hope some better qualified students of philosophy may write reviews.
