(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Dec. 12, 2013)
Plato is arguably the most important philosopher in history, the man who documented the teachings of Socrates for posterity and the one who taught Aristotle at his legendary Academy, and of all his works, The Republic is arguably his most famous.
In The Republic, Plato uses Socrates once again to discuss the concepts of justice and how it applies to administering the city-state (polis), from the way labor is assigned to the way officials rule. In the process, the Socratic dialogue discusses the ideal form of government, as well as metaphysical concepts like the soul, while reaching a very famous conclusion about "philosopher kings".
