PHILOSOPHY'S MOST INFLUENTIAL TEXT
Despite being over 16 centuries old, The Republic still has much to say about what it means to live a good life today. On the surface the book lays out Plato's plan for a perfect society, but The Republic is also an extended metaphor for individual human potential. Plato's ideal state or society is characterised by wisdom, courage, self-discipline and justice; qualities that also motivate and shape a well-balanced person someone who is 'just' or good.
This keepsake edition includes an introduction by philosophy and personal development scholar Tom Butler-Bowdon, drawing out lessons for the contemporary reader, and showing the power of The Republic as a guide for success today.
