Description
Understanding Plato's Republic provides an accessible introduction to the concepts of justice that underpin this ancient philosopher's work. Gerasimos Santas elucidates Plato's main argument that leading just lives is preferable to living unjust ones.
The book offers a much-needed discussion of The Republic's fundamental ideas and Plato's central argument, while also examining the unity and coherence of the entire work. Written in a lively style informed by over 50 years of teaching experience, Santas reveals rich insights into this timeless and remarkably relevant text.
