APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Plato’s The Republic looks daunting, but once we dove in we found it to be remarkably readable—and amazingly relevant. This landmark philosophical tract may have been written 2395 years ago, but it grapples with some very modern quandaries: What makes a society ethical? What defines a citizen? Is wealth always a corrupting influence? The Greek intellectual’s enduring masterpiece is a must-read for anyone engaged in politics, urban affairs or the complex art of being human.
