Summary

The Republic is Plato's most famous work and one of the seminal texts of Western philosophy and politics. The characters in this Socratic dialogue - including Socrates himself - discuss whether the just or unjust man is happier. They are the philosopher-kings of imagined cities and they also discuss the nature of philosophy and the soul among other things.

First line

I went down to the Piraeus yesterday with Glaucon the son of Ariston, to offer a prayer to the goddess.
