Day 37: The Republic by Plato

One of Plato’s greatest works and one of the founding pillars of political philosophy, The Republic is a Socratic Dialogue that explores essential themes in Plato’s society that holds just as crucial relevance today. His views on justice and the unjust, governance, power, and morality are all exhibited with Plato’s brilliant logical primacy. Even 2393 years after it was written, this work is still read and studied today. The concepts within are still significant. The thought is staggering; I can’t think of anything else that is as important today from so very long ago. That alone merits a look into Plato’s magnum opus.
