Description

"The Republic" is considered by many authorities to be Plato's greatest work. This is a readable, provocative and enjoyable dialogue between Plato and various Athenian dignitaries in which they discuss the meaning of justice and democracy, the great philosopher's theory of the Forms and the ideal ruler.
