Publisher Comments:

'Ostensibly a discussion of the nature of justice, The Republic presents Plato\'s vision of the ideal state, covering a wide range of topics: social, educational, psychological, moral, and philosophical. It also includes some of Plato\'s most important writing on the nature of reality and the theory of the \"forms.\"
