The Republic

“The Republic” by Plato stands as one of the foundational works of Western philosophy, exploring the nature of justice, the ideal state, and the essence of human virtue. Composed in the form of dialogues, the text features Socratic discussions between key figures, primarily Socrates and his disciples, as they delve into the multifaceted aspects of governance and individual morality. Central to the work is the allegory of the cave, which metaphorically represents the journey from ignorance to enlightenment. Plato’s concept of the philosopher-king, who possesses both intellectual acumen and moral integrity, underlines his vision of an ideal state governed by reason and justice. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.33, kg Written_By: Plato Publisher: Fingerprint!, Pub Book Type: Intellect|Non, fiction Categories: Philosophy Best For: Interest, in, philosophy|political, theory|and, ethical, discussions Ages: 16+ Binding: Paperback Edition: Latest, edition, (1, August, 2015) Isbn: 978-8175993068 Language: English Pages: 400 Printing Remarks: Premium, (, Local, Print, ) Dimension: 20, x, 14, x, 4, cm Total Pages: 400
