En savoir plus sur le livre

Presented as a dialogue between Socrates and three interlocutors, this classic text explores the concept of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. The conversation raises fundamental questions about goodness, reality, and knowledge, while also addressing the purpose of education and the roles of men and women as guardians. With clarity and skillful allegory, Plato depicts a harmonious state ruled by philosopher kings. Written around 380 BC, this Socratic dialogue investigates the definition of justice, the structure of a just city-state, and the character of the just individual, leading to the alternative title "On Justice." The dialogue's dramatic date has been debated, with suggestions it occurred during the Peloponnesian War, though specific dates pose challenges due to anachronisms. As Plato's most renowned work, it has significantly influenced philosophy and political theory throughout history. Socrates, alongside various Athenians and foreigners, discusses justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust, envisioning different cities in speech, culminating in Kallipolis, governed by philosopher-kings. The dialogue also delves into the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of philosophers and poetry in society.
