Republic

Republic

by Plato (Πλάτων)

The Republic is a foundational work of Western philosophy and political theory. Plato explores the nature of justice and the ideal state through a dialogue between Socrates and various other Athenians. The dialogue delves into concepts such as justice, wisdom, courage, temperance, and the role of the philosopher in society. Plato argues that justice is not merely following the law but living a virtuous life in accordance with reason. The ideal state, he proposes, is one ruled by philosopher-kings who possess the knowledge and wisdom to make just decisions for the benefit of all citizens.
