Book Description
"Moore and Raymond's Charmides is very impressive. The translation is excellent, and the Introduction and notes guide the reader into thorny problems in a way that renders them understandable: e.g., how to translate sôphrosunê, why we should care about self-knowledge, or how to seek to clarify important ethico-political concepts. The result provides almost all of what an instructor will need to introduce this unjustly neglected dialogue into a syllabus. Moreover, the volume is a wide-ranging resource for specialists. Students of the 'Socratic Dialogues' will profit greatly from this admirable contribution." —David J. Murphy is co-editor of Antiphontis et Andocidis Orationes (Oxford) and author of "The Basis of the Text of Plato's Charmides" (Mnemosyne) and many other contributions on the Charmides. He lives in New York City.

The Annotated Wizard of Oz
Author: Lyman Frank Baum
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393049923
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
The first striking thing about this book is its elegant dust jacket made to look like a copper plate. But the eye candy stretches past the front cover, nearly every page with either color illustrations or distinctive frames, fleurons, and figures around the text. Not surprising to those who've taken some literature classes, the annotations following a page of text are often far longer than whatever bit of text they illustrate. But if the reader should find academicism beside the point, annotations are easy to skip because Baum's story is written in larger type. This edition is for both kids and kiddie litters, the latter interested in such tidbits as the Dorothy-type farmgirl character called Dot, Dolly, and Doris in other works by Frank Baum, and the reigning theory that Dorothy lived in Kansas, yes, but more specifically, Topeka. Reprinted from the 1900 edition with many of the original drawings by W.W. Denslow. Oversize: 9.5x10.5". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

The Republic - On Justice (Annotated)
Author: Plato
Publisher: Nicolae Sfetcu
ISBN: 6060336523
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Πολιτεία, published on 375 BC, by Plato (428/427 or 424/423 BC - 348/347 BC) Translation by Benjamin Jowett (1817 - 1893), Published by The Colonial Press in 1901 Special Introduction by William Cranston Lawton (1853 - 1941) Introduction by Nicolae Sfetcu Cover: Plato in his academy (cropped), 1879 - Unknown xylographer, After Carl Wahlbom (1810–1858) The Republic of Plato is considered an integral part of the utopian literary genre. The book is divided into 10 books: the first deals with the subject of justice; in the next two books Plato expounds his theory of the "ideal state"; the fourth and fifth books deal with the relationship between things and ideas, between the sensitive and supersensitive world (hyperuranion); books six and seven describe the theory of knowledge; the eighth and ninth books talk about the state and the family; and the last book examines the idea of the immortality of the soul with the Myth of Er. The central theme of the book is justice, argued with the help of several Platonic theories, including the allegorical myth of the cave, the doctrine of ideas, dialectics, the theory of the soul and the project of an ideal city. A book of moral philosophy, in which the real questions are how to live best, and what is the best order or organization of human society. The Republic is considered by many academics to be the greatest philosophical text ever written, being the most studied book in top universities.
