About this listen

Join us as we begin our discussion of one of the most foundational texts in Western history: Plato's Republic! In this episode, we talk about our prior knowledge and opinions of Plato, the historical background leading up to the writing of the work, and what we hope to gain from reading it again. In this season, we are reading Sir Desmond Lee's Penguin Classics translation of the work, but will also be pulling insights from the original Greek and Paul Shorey's Loeb translation, as well as Allan Bloom's. We also discuss an opportunity to get a free 1 of 2000 limited edition official Unlimited Opinions matchbook!
