About The Book

Plato's Politeia is one of the most important and influential texts in the history of philosophy. Under the guiding question of justice, Plato rejects traditional views and makes a sophistic criticism; He then develops his doctrine of the three parts of the soul and the doctrine of the four cardinal virtues. He outlines a theory of education, a philosophy of the state with the theory of the rule of philosophers, a theory of knowledge and the theory of ideas. Above all, however, the Politeia contains Plato's most famous parables: of the sun, the line and the cave. In the form of a cooperative commentary, recognized interpreters of Plato, following the structure of the work, introduce the main themes of the Politeia and the most important research problems.
