Book Description:
Ostensibly a discussion of the nature of justice, The Republic presents Plato's vision of the ideal state, covering a wide range of topics: social, educational, psychological, moral, and philosophical. It also includes some of Plato's most important writing on the nature of reality and the theory of the "forms."

Translated with an Introduction by Desmond Lee

This book is about JUSTICE. The definition, how to achieve it, and all things related to it. It's a classic, that should be taught in high schools. A bit of a difficult read at times, but try reading it out of order. For class, we read it much out of sequence (1,2,5,7,9,3,8,11,4,6,10) it made a lot more sence, and left you feeling with the urge to go storm the White House for a reform.
