Reviews
'Sarah Broadie's new book is one of the most exciting and important books I have read on Plato's Republic. Its rigorous and systematic challenge to orthodox ways of understanding what the form of good is, and why mathematics plays a central role in a philosopher's education, will be debated for many years to come.' Richard Kraut, Northwestern University
'... exemplary and inspiring.' William Altman, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
