The Republic — Page 7

English → Korean INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS. Level 9/10

To the perfect ideal succeeds the government of the soldier and the lover of honour, this again declining into democracy, and democracy into tyranny, in an imaginary but regular order having not much resemblance to the actual facts.

완벽한 이상에 뒤이어 군인과 명예를 사랑하는 자의 통치가 나타나고, 이것이 다시 민주정으로 쇠퇴하며, 민주정은 참주정으로 쇠퇴하는데, 이는 실제 사실과 그다지 닮지 않은 가상의 그러나 규칙적인 순서를 따른다.

When 'the wheel has come full circle' we do not begin again with a new period of human life; but we have passed from the best to the worst, and there we end.

'수레바퀴가 한 바퀴를 다 돌았을 때' 우리는 인간 삶의 새로운 시기로 다시 시작하지 않는다. 오히려 우리는 최선에서 최악으로 나아갔으며, 거기서 끝을 맺는다.

The subject is then changed and the old quarrel of poetry and philosophy which had been more lightly treated in the earlier books of the Republic is now resumed and fought out to a conclusion.

그런 다음 주제가 바뀌어, 『국가』의 앞선 권들에서 가볍게 다루어졌던 시와 철학 사이의 오래된 논쟁이 이제 다시 재개되어 결론에 이를 때까지 철저히 다루어진다.

Poetry is discovered to be an imitation thrice removed from the truth, and Homer, as well as the dramatic poets, having been condemned as an imitator, is sent into banishment along with them.

시는 진리로부터 세 단계 떨어진 모방임이 밝혀지며, 호메로스는 극시인들과 함께 모방자로 단죄되어 그들과 함께 추방된다.

And the idea of the State is supplemented by the revelation of a future life.

그리고 국가의 이념은 내세에 대한 계시로 보완된다.

The division into books, like all similar divisions (Cp. Sir G.C. Lewis in the Classical Museum, vol. ii. p 1.), is probably later than the age of Plato.

권(卷)으로의 분할은, 모든 유사한 분할들과 마찬가지로(『Classical Museum』 제2권 1쪽에 실린 G.C. 루이스 경의 글 참조), 아마도 플라톤 시대보다 후대의 것일 것이다.

The natural divisions are five in number;—(1) Book I and the first half of Book II down to the paragraph beginning, 'I had always admired the genius of Glaucon and Adeimantus,' which is introductory;

자연스러운 구분은 다섯 가지이다. (1) 제1권과 제2권의 전반부로, '나는 항상 글라우콘과 아데이만토스의 재능을 경탄해 왔다'로 시작하는 단락까지이며, 이는 서론에 해당한다.

the first book containing a refutation of the popular and sophistical notions of justice, and concluding, like some of the earlier Dialogues, without arriving at any definite result.

제1권은 정의에 관한 통속적이고 소피스트적인 관념들에 대한 반박을 담고 있으며, 초기 대화편들의 일부처럼 어떠한 명확한 결론에도 도달하지 못한 채 끝을 맺는다.
