About this eBook
The Republic is one of the earliest political treatises ever written and Plato's most remarkable work. Through a fictional dialogue with Socrates, Plato examines the nature of justice, the character of the city-state, and what it means to be a just man. Plato argued that power corrupts and the only way to protect against this was through the rule of philosopher kings. In The Republic he also grapples with the questions of our senses and reality through the famous 'Allegory of the Cave'.
About the author
Plato was born in Athens in 428BC. The ancient Greek philosopher was one of the most important thinkers in the history of Western philosophy. His work covered themes as broad as politics, virtue, love, art and literature. He can reasonably be credited as the father of philosophy.
