Review: A masterpiece of Philosophy! - This book is a must-read if you want to get immersed into philosophy and one of the cornerstones if not among the first of the field. It will enlightens your understanding of various concepts like justice and injustice, virtue and vice, good and evil; what makes a State well ordered and what does not and many other important concepts.
Review: Work toward the greater good? Or every person for themselves? That's the question - "Republic" is a classic work written at a time when modern democracy was in its infancy, by one of the western world's greatest philosophers. When I took Philosophy 101 at university, we started with this book. Not gonna lie: it was not the easiest book to get into. But like walking into a cave and letting your eyes get used to the light, I entered the first chapter and really had to read a bit before I got my bearings and understood the point. After that, the book was profoundly moving. In a world where we see people choose either the greater good or their own self-interest, "Republic" really illustrates what that battle is all about, and how our choices dictate life, society, and social structure. Plato really makes the case for the greater good — and here we are, more than 2000 years later, still needing visionaries to help people frame these choices. We still need to step back, understand that core choice of Greater Good vs. Self Interest, and all of the implications and consequences of whichever choice we make. I'll tell you this: if you read this, truly read it without skimming, and do the hard labor of thinking through the points Plato is making, it will drive you to demand real ethics, fairness, and morality in our societal leadership. it'll help you get out of the mindset of tribalism and focus on what is best for ALL people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timeless Wisdom and Philosophical Depth
*by I***L on September 7, 2024*

Plato’s The Republic is a cornerstone of Western philosophy that continues to inspire critical thought centuries after it was written. This edition presents the dialogue in a clear and accessible translation, making the complex ideas easier to grasp even for those new to philosophy. Socrates’ method of questioning and the deep explorations of justice, the ideal society, and the philosopher-king still feel incredibly relevant, especially when reflecting on today’s political and ethical dilemmas. What makes The Republic especially compelling is how it challenges the reader to think beyond personal opinions and question the very structure of society. It isn’t always an easy read—the arguments can be dense and layered—but the intellectual reward is well worth the effort. Whether you’re a student of philosophy or simply curious about foundational ideas that shaped modern thinking, this is a powerful and enriching book to have on your shelf.
