The Republic of Plato; Volume 2

<p>The Republic by Plato is a Socratic dialogue exploring justice the order and character of the just city-state and the just individual. This foundational work of political philosophy delves into the nature of justice and examines whether the just man is happier than the unjust man. Plato uses the allegory of the cave to illustrate the difference between those who mistake sensory experience for true knowledge and those who grasp the real forms and ideas through reason. This edition offers readers access to Plato's profound insights into governance ethics and the pursuit of wisdom. The Republic remains a cornerstone of Western thought inviting readers to contemplate the ideal society and the role of reason in human affairs.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
