The Republic by Plato
"The Republic" by Plato is a Socratic dialogue written around 375 BC. Through conversations between Socrates and various Athenians, this influential philosophical work explores the meaning of justice and whether the just person is happier than the unjust. Socrates examines existing governments and proposes a utopian city-state ruled by philosopher-kings. The dialogue also delves into aging, love, the immortality of the soul, and poetry's role in society, creating one of history's most
enduring works of philosophy and political theory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
