About this listen

 In this monumental work of moral and political philosophy, Plato sought to answer some of the world's most formidable questions: What does it mean to be good? What enables us to distinguish between right and wrong? How should human virtues be translated into a just society? Perhaps the greatest single treatise written on political philosophy, The Republic has strongly influenced Western thought concerning questions of justice, rule, obedience, and the good life.

This work is also undoubtedly the best introduction to Plato's philosophy in general. Not only does it contain his ideas on the state and man, but also his famous theory of forms, his theory of knowledge, and his views on the role of music and poetry in society.

Too difficult to comprehend!

if we are new to philosophy or abstract concepts, then this book may be difficult for you (as it was for me ) . but I like the depth of seeking the exact interpretation of each concept is really nice . But at the same time , you need to be a philosopher to go to that extent . simple life doesn't require such complex arguments . it's more for the philosophers !!!

The concept of justice , need for education and the different types of governments are analysed in detail!
