The State

This book includes one of the most famous dialogues of Plato, «The State», which has long become a classic of philosophical thought. The edition is accompanied by the necessary notes and comments. The book opens with a fundamental article by the outstanding Russian philosopher Evgeny Nikolayevich Trubetskoy, previously unpublished, in which a detailed comparative analysis of Plato's «State» and Aristotle's «Politics» is conducted with the involvement of a large number of sources - two pinnacles of ancient thought that had a significant influence on the development of socio-philosophical doctrines of the Middle Ages and Modern times. The book can be recommended to philosophers, historians, and anyone interested in the development of philosophical thought.
