Suggestions for further Reading
Ferrari ‘Socrates in the Republic’ is invaluable for elucidating the form and nature of Socrates’ narration and the loss of control exemplified at the beginning of Book 5.
On Plato’s proposals for the city, see first of all Aristotle, Politics II.1–6; also Barker, ‘Communism in Plato’s Republic.’ Bambrough, ‘Plato’s political analogies,’ is invaluable. For a very recent synopsis of the scholarly debates over the Republic’s politics see Fronterotta, ‘Plato’s Republic in the recent debate.’
On the guardians’ education and the Form of the Good see especially Cooper, ‘The psychology of justice in Plato.’ On forcing philosophers to rule, see most recently Smith, ‘Return to the cave’: besides advancing the debate Smith contains references to much of the preceding discussion.
On the perennially provocative topic of women in the Republic’s city begin with Santas, Understanding Plato’s Republic. Then see Bluestone, Women and the Ideal Society: Plato’s Republic and Modern Myths of Gender, which addresses both the reforms proposed in Book 5 and the history of their reception; also Lesser, ‘Plato’s feminism,’ Smith, ‘Plato and Aristotle on the nature of women,’ and above all Vlastos, ‘Was Plato a feminist?’ On women in Athens see Keuls, The Reign of the Phallus: Sexual Politics in Ancient Athens.
