Plato

Platos

Plato’s Republic is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge; what is the purpose of education? With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by ‘philosopher kings’.

He did have funny notions on the soul composed of the elements and plenty of antique ideas to do with women and the like…but enjoy the mind of another. this is where it all started.

Warning his utopia is achievable but highly dull in my opinion.

But his dialogues of Socrates are a true joy or anywhere Socrates is mentioned.
