About this Edition

"The Republic of Plato" by Plato is a Socratic dialogue written around 375 BC.

The discussion ranges from definitions of justice to the design of an ideal city-state ruled by philosopher-kings, exploring aging, love, the soul's immortality, and poetry's role in society along the way.
