The Republic

by Plato Author

Whether you need it for school, or you want to school someone on Western philosophy - Plato's The Republic is where it's at. From allegories to deft logic, Plato tackles questions of goodness, reality, knowledge, and ultimately the ideal government. In these troubled times it's more and more necessary to ask ourselves what the perfect community looks like - and who the ideal citizens are within this community.
