      This book offers a reading of Plato's "Republic", one of the most influential philosophical works in the emergence of Western philosophy. The author discusses the "Republic" in terms of discursive events and political acts. Plato's act is placed in the context of a politico-discursive crisis in Athens at the end of the fifth and the beginning of the fourth century B.C. that gave rise to the dialogue's primary question, that of justice. The originality of Dr Ophir lies in the way he reconstructs the "Republic's" different spatial settings - utopian, mythical, dramatic and discursive - using them as the main thread of his interpretation. Against the background of Plato's critique of the organization of civic-space in the Greek "polis", the author relates the spatial settings in the Plato text to each other. This provides a basis for a re-examination of the relationship between philosophy and politics, which Plato's work advocates, and which it actually enacted. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of political and ancient philosophy.
