Hi,
I want to start reading some of Plato and Aristotle’s works, and am wondering what the best English translations people here would recommend. I have read many of Plato’s dialogues years ago, and recently read some of Aristotle. I think most of the Plato translations I read were by Benjamin Jowett. In particular I want to read Plato’s Republic and Timaeus dialogues. Does anyone here familiar with Plato’s works have a suggestion on who the best translators of these dialogues would be? I might just read a few different translations, but I thought I might ask in case anyone familiar with these works would be able to provide a good recommendation. Thank you for any suggestions.
God bless.
