The Republic' by Plato (380 BCE)

The Republic' by Plato (380 BCE)

Written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, The Republic examines and theorizes on the ideal state and government.

The book is divided into ten books, each discussing different concepts of justice and the ideal state.

It explores the definition of justice, the structure of the ideal state, the nature of education, and the role of philosopher-kings.

The Republic also discusses the nature of truth, morality, and the role of Sophists and rhetoric.

The dialogue is based on a conversation between Socrates and several other characters.

The Republic proposes that justice is more about the benefit of the whole community, rather than the interests of an individual.

It also suggests that the ideal state should be ruled by philosopher-kings, men of wisdom and knowledge, who would have absolute power.
