Plato's Euthyphro , Apology of Socrates , and Crito and Aristophanes' Clouds

Widely adopted for classroom use, this book offers translations of four major works of ancient Greek literature which treat the life and thought of Socrates, focusing particularly on his trial and defense (three dialogues by Plato: Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, and Crito) and on the charges against Socrates (Aristophanes' comedy Clouds).

This is the only collection of the three Platonic dialogues that also includes Clouds, a work that is fundamental for understanding the thought of Socrates in relation to the Athenian political community and to Greek poetry. Thomas G. West's introduction provides an overview of the principal themes and arguments of the four works. There are extensive explanatory notes to the translations.

In their translations, the Wests capture successfully the simplicity and vigor of straightforward Greek diction. They strive for as high a degree of accuracy as possible, subordinating concerns for elegance and smoothness to the goal of producing the most faithful and most reliable English versions of these texts. For this new edition, Thomas West has revised the introduction and updated the annotated bibliography, which includes the best of the secondary literature on Socrates and on the texts included in this book.

Its ideas and concepts have not only become part of the intellectual landscape of Western civilization: They form the basis for a movement that has, for better or worse, radically changed the world.&&L/P&&R&&LP&&RAddressed to the common worker, the &&LI&&RManifesto&&L/I&&R argues that history is a record of class struggle between the bourgeoisie, or owners, and the proletariat, or workers. In order to succeed, the bourgeoisie must constantly build larger cities, promote new products, and secure cheaper commodities, while eliminating large numbers of workers in order to increase profits without increasing production--a scenario that is perhaps even more prevalent today than in 1848. Calling upon the workers of the world to unite, the Manifesto announces a plan for overthrowing the bourgeoisie and empowering the proletariat.&&L/P&&R&&LP&&RThis volume also includes Marx''s &&LI&&RThe Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte&&L/I&&R (1852), one of the most brilliant works ever written on the philosophy of history, and &&LI&&RTheses on Feuerbach&&L/I&&R (1845), Marx''s personal notes about new forms of social relations and education.&&L/P&&R&&LP&&R&&LI&&RCommunist Manifesto&&L/I&&R translated by Samuel Moore, revised and edited by Friedrich Engels.&&L/P&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LSTRONG&&RMartin Puchner&&L/B&&R&&L/B&&R is Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, as well as the author of &&LI&&RStage Fright: Modernism, Anti-Theatricality, and Drama and Poetry of the Revolution: Marx, Manifestos, and the Avant-Gardes&&L/I&&R (forthcoming).&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R
