The Republic — Page 9

English → Korean INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS. Level 9/10

Or a more general division into two parts may be adopted; the first (Books I - IV) containing the description of a State framed generally in accordance with Hellenic notions of religion and morality, while in the second (Books V - X) the Hellenic State is transformed into an ideal kingdom of philosophy, of which all other governments are the perversions.

또는 보다 일반적인 두 부분으로의 구분이 채택될 수도 있는데, 첫 번째 부분(1권~4권)은 헬라적 종교와 도덕 관념에 전반적으로 부합하도록 구성된 국가의 묘사를 담고 있으며, 두 번째 부분(5권~10권)에서는 헬라적 국가가 철학의 이상적 왕국으로 변모하고, 다른 모든 정부 형태는 그것의 타락한 형태로 제시된다.

These two points of view are really opposed, and the opposition is only veiled by the genius of Plato.

이 두 관점은 실제로 서로 대립하며, 그 대립은 오직 플라톤의 천재성에 의해 가려질 뿐이다.

The Republic, like the Phaedrus (see Introduction to Phaedrus), is an imperfect whole; the higher light of philosophy breaks through the regularity of the Hellenic temple, which at last fades away into the heavens.

『국가』는 『파이드로스』(파이드로스 서론 참조)와 마찬가지로 불완전한 전체이며, 철학의 더 높은 빛은 헬라 신전의 규칙성을 뚫고 나와 마침내 하늘 속으로 사라진다.

Whether this imperfection of structure arises from an enlargement of the plan; or from the imperfect reconcilement in the writer's own mind of the struggling elements of thought which are now first brought together by him; or, perhaps, from the composition of the work at different times—are questions, like the similar question about the Iliad and the Odyssey, which are worth asking, but which cannot have a distinct answer.

이러한 구조적 불완전성이 계획의 확장에서 비롯된 것인지, 아니면 저자 자신의 마음속에서 처음으로 한데 모인 서로 경합하는 사상적 요소들의 불완전한 화해에서 비롯된 것인지, 혹은 어쩌면 작품이 서로 다른 시기에 걸쳐 작성된 데서 비롯된 것인지의 문제는, 『일리아드』와 『오디세이』에 관한 유사한 질문처럼, 제기할 가치는 있지만 명확한 답을 얻을 수 없는 질문들이다.

In the age of Plato there was no regular mode of publication, and an author would have the less scruple in altering or adding to a work which was known only to a few of his friends.

플라톤의 시대에는 정해진 출판 방식이 없었으며, 저자는 자신의 몇몇 친구들에게만 알려진 작품을 수정하거나 추가하는 데 있어 거리낌이 덜했을 것이다.
