Book Synopsis



Plato's Republic is structured as a dialogue between Socrates and three different challengers, laying out Plato's views on justice, utopia, and the attributes of the ideal citizen within such a society.

Plato purports that true justice provides meaning for both the individual and the community. As a hammer derives meaning from its true purpose of driving home the nail, so too does every person find meaning in their true purpose of creating and maintaining a just society. Broadening his scope, he then posits that the ideal society would consist of three classes: the philosopher kings who dictate laws and morals, the warriors to provide protection, and the producers to keep the wheels turning. Plato's seminal work is still fiercely critiqued and studied within professional and academic circles with the goal of better understanding and improving the opalescent fabric of society. Many influential works of philosophy and literature, including Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984, have taken The Republic as a key starting point for the dissection and discussion of societal norms and trends.
