I've been recommended Bloom as far as English editions go, or Hackett for a complete works of Plato

Did you look at the archive?

We probably had this exact thread a billion times

>reading translations

Between those three, the Rowe is probably the best.

Finishing the republic book 8 this evening... I'm very happy with the Hackett version. Next up Parmenides and Laws.

Can i ask, if you have ones to compare it to, if the paper is like the Penguin Classics/OWC editions usually are?

>>8410223
The center. Any other answer is that of a pleb.

Bloom is widely considered to be the best. Get this one: https://amzn.com/0465069347

Of those three, Grube, but really, if you're not gonna get the Collected Works, just get Bloom.

I'd like the paper on my Hackett edition to be a little heavier -- highlighter bleeds through

Thanks for the info. I'll pick up the Bloom.

Bloom. Stop looking, just get Bloom.

Second place is the Focus Philosophical Library edition, translated by Joe Sachs.
