Plato's Republic remains one of the core books of the Western philosophical tradition. This companion to the Republic serves as a guide to the complex interplay of voices and arguments throughout the text and offers a unified framework for critically engaging its multiple themes. It provides a contemporary interpretation of Plato's dialogue with particular focus on economics, gender and sexuality, spirituality, and semiotics. The transcript of a celebrated 2025 GCAS Paris seminar on Plato's Republic, this volume brings the ancient Athenian conversation among Socrates, Thrasymachus, Glaucon, and Adeimantus into the 21st century.
