No philosopher has influenced Western thought as much as Plato; and perhaps none of the pieces of thought play a role in shaping our conception of an ideal society as strong as the Republic. This work of Plato preoccupies the idea of idealized idealistic designs which thus occupies them in the earliest ranks of utopian works.
On the other hand, Plato pursues the notion of the word philosopher, questioning our perceptions of reality, and discussing the various laws as well as demonstrating their own relative strengths and weaknesses. However, above all the Republic is a striving to define justice. By imagining the possibility of the best state then justice is easier to manifest.
Thus, in this Republic Plato shows not only the peak of the dialectical power but also its literary power. This legendary work of philosophy is a must read for those who wrestle in philosophical thought, especially social, political, and state philosophy.
