The Republic. Dialogues. Philosophy for Beginners with Comments and Illustrations
Plato is a key figure in ancient philosophy who influenced the further development of the entire European philosophical school. The book presents the most vivid and characteristic fragments of his works "The Republic," the dialogues "Laches," "Minos," and "Timaeus," with...
accompanying texts discussing the history of Plato's education with Socrates, the establishment of the Academy, his travels, and attempts to implement philosophical ideas in practice.
In the treatise "The Republic," the philosopher ponders the search for true justice, proposing a model of an ideal state with a clear hierarchy and truly wise philosopher-rulers, where everyone plays their role for the good of society. In the dialogues, the search for objective grounds for human life is conducted—whether it be virtue (courage), law, or the structure of the world, while Plato's criterion of truth is not opinion but knowledge related to higher principles (the good, harmony, eternity).
