Overview

The central work of the Western world's most famous philosopher, Republic is essential an enquiry into morality, but it contains crucial arguements and insights into many other areas of philosophy. Socrates and others meet to discuss the ideal community, where immortality can be achieved in the balance of wisdom, courage, and restraint. The dialogue is, however, as much about our internal life as about social morality, for these vital elements must likewise work together to create harmonious human beings.
