Histoire
In these four dialogues, Plato develops the Socratic belief in responsibility for one's self and shows Socrates living and dying under his philosophy. In Euthyphro, Socrates debates goodness outside the courthouse, Apology sees him in court, rebutting all charges of impiety, in Crito, he refuses an entreaty to escape from prison, and in Phaedo, Socrates faces his impending death with calmness and skillful discussion of immortality.

Histoire
Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and Aurelius's own emotions.

Histoire
Epictetus, a Greek stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicropolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. Together with the Enchiridion, a manual of his main ideas, and the fragments collected here, The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature.

Now, with this stunning modern verse translation, Fagles has reintroduced Virgil's Aeneid to a whole new generation, and completed the classical triptych at the heart of Western civilization.

Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is performed by Jim Barclay, best known for their roles in The Young Ones and Jeeves and Wooster. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Christopher Rowe, also read by Jim Barclay.
We set about founding the best city we could, because we could be confident that if it was good we would find justice in it.
The Republic, Plato's masterwork, was first enjoyed 2,400 years ago and remains one of the most widely read books in the world: as a foundational work of Western philosophy and for the richness of its ideas and virtuosity of its writing. Presented as a dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to philosophy, inviting its listeners to reflect on the choices to be made if we are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work creates a picture of an ideal society governed not by the desire for money, power or fame, but by philosophy, wisdom and justice.
Christopher Rowe's accurate and enjoyable new translation remains faithful to the many variations of the Republic's tone, style and pace. This edition also contains a chronology, further reading, an outline of the work's main arguments and an introduction discussing Plato's relationship with Socrates, and the Republic's style, ideas and historical context.

A Good Translation
I read (Kindle) and listened (Audible) to this translation at the same time. I also read Allan Bloom's translation of the Republic in conjunction with it. While I think Bloom's translation is closer to the intent of the dialogue, Rowe does a good job.
As for the intent of the dialogue, well... a lot of people have argued for literal eons about this. Too many, unfortunately read it with the kind of learned ignorance Socrates was so intent on revealing in everyone he talked to. For me, I was taught at university that Plato (and by extension Socrates) was just a dead white male proto-nazi with a penchant for boys. The mental poverty required to come to that conclusion is a prime example of some of the problems the academic world faces.
I personally tend to agree with Pierre Hadot in "What is Ancient Philosophy?", that the dialogues were used by Plato and those of his school as a means to bring his students to an understanding of how to live a good life. In that sense justice, which is the prime focus of the Republic, isn't simply a concept, it is a way of living; and it can only really be understood by living justly.
For all those who dismiss Plato due to an infection of racist, sexist or scientistic ideology, you may find Neoplatonic ideas making a come back over the next few decades; so prepare your mental barricades. For the curious, reading Plato with an open mind, perhaps preceded by Hadot's book above, might be a worthwhile investment of time.
