About the Book
In Plato's Republic, a conversation occurs between Socrates and a number of other people. It covers important subjects like what justice is, what virtue is, what constitutes truth, and how important education is. This debate explores the idea of philosopher-kings ruling an ideal society and the responsibilities that men and women play in protecting the populace. The Republic is well known for its use of allegory and its portrayal of a blissful kingdom ruled by philosopher-kings. One of the many political structures that Plato proposes is his vision of the perfect city-state ruled by a philosopher-king.
