Description

The Republic of Plato (429-347 B.C.) is the greatest work of political philosophy ever written. The dialogue sets the philosopher Socrates against his sophistical associates, and revolves around his defense of the view that justice is always preferable to injustice. Using justice in the ideal state as an analogy for justice in the ideal soul, Socrates not only formulates an authoritative definition of the virtue, but also vanquishes the arguments of his opponents. The result is an unrivaled philosophical classic.
