Republic By Plato eBook

AUK Classics presents the critically-acclaimed Benjamin Jowett translation of Plato's most famous dialogue, The Republic.Authored around 375 BC, the book's subject matter concerns justice, the city-state and the just man. In it, Plato considers the natures of then-existing regimes, before proposing a series of hypothetical cities - ultimately culminating in Kallipolis, a utopian city-state ruled by a philosopher-king. Also discussing love, the soul, the role of the philosopher and the importance of poetry to society, The Republic is one of history's most influential works of philosophy and political theory.
