Publisher Description
Socrates along with various Athenians and foreigners discuss the meaning of justice and examine whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man by considering a series of different cities coming into existence "in speech", culminating in a city called Kallipolis , which is ruled by philosopher-kings; and by examining the nature of existing regimes.
The participants also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of the philosopher and of poetry in society
