| | 2. |  | Meditations (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $8.00
Customer Review:
I bought this a couple of years ago and my copy is full of markings and is getting quite ragged now!
I never find a situation upon which this wise man did not speak. Very nice work!
I do know a fair bit of Greek but I have still enjoyed Prof. Hays' translation. I'd recommend a copy to... more info

| | 3. |  | Republic (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
This version of the Republic (translated by Tom Griffith) is pleasant and readable; it definitely has its moments and would probably be a good way to first encounter the dialogue. But do not use it for serious study, since the translation can be quite free and sometimes confusing. For instance, the... more info

| | 4. |  | The Nicomachean Ethics (World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Customer Review:
Although I don't think Irwin's translation of Nicomachean Ethics is the best one available, and although I am also disagree with maybe half of his interpretations in the second part of the book -which, I guess, is normal in every philosophical discussion-, I do think it's an useful tool and an... more info

| | 6. |  | Politics (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $5.00
Customer Review:
I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Politics is one of Aristotle's most prescient works that had a profound impact on our Founding fathers.
Nicomachean Ethics (EN) is part of political knowledge. Politics regulates when virtue does not. Laws are created for people who are not... more info

| | 7. |  | The Republic Of Plato
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $17.95
Customer Review:
Bloom's essay is possibly the best commentary on Plato I've read. An overly simple summary is that he suggests many of Socrates' proposals were intentionally preposterous, with the aim of leading his interlocutors to grasp that no truly legitimate political system is possible, and that the best... more info

| | 8. |  | The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories
from Pantheon
Price: $29.70
Customer Review:
The Landmark Herodotus is a book I wanted but didn't know it existed. I tried to read Herodotus once and found it difficult to read because of his many references to places that no longer exist. This edition has extensive maps, references and background material that make Herodotus not only much... more info

Customer Review:
I highly recommend this book. It made me want to read more of Plato's dialogues. Anyone that even slightly desires read about philosophy should at least start wih this as a primer.
