This 'second sailing, ' according to the distinguished classicist Seth Benardete, is the essence of Socratic philosophizing. In this section-by-section commentary, Benardete argues that Plato's Republic is itself a self-powered analysis of the beautiful, the good, and the just. Socrates' Second Sailing provides at once a fresh interpretation of the Republic and a new understanding of philosophy as practiced by Plato and Socrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 9.14 x 6.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 1992\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47454523883698,"sku":"9780226042442","price":61.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/a69f55af72be5afec0dbc823d76ed341.webp?v=1778853395","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/socrates-second-sailing-on-platos-republic-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
