Why buy our paperbacks?
BEWARE OF LOW-QUALITY SELLERS
Don't buy cheap paperbacks just to save a few dollars. Most of them use low-quality papers & binding. Their pages fall off easily. Some of them even use very small font size of 6 or less to increase their profit margin. It makes their books completely unreadable.
About The Republic
The Republic is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 380 BCE, concerning the definition of justice, the order and character of the just city-state and the just man—for this reason, ancient readers used the name On Justice as an alternative title (not to be confused with the spurious dialogue also titled On Justice). The dramatic date of the dialogue has been much debated and though it might have taken place some time during the Peloponnesian War, "there would be jarring anachronisms if any of the candidate specific dates between 432 and 404 were assigned".Plato's best-known work, it has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. In it, Socrates along with various Athenians and foreigners discuss the meaning of justice and examine whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man by considering a series of different cities coming into existence "in speech", culminating in a city called Kallipolis, which is ruled by philosopher-kings; and by examining the nature of existing regimes. The participants also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of the philosopher and of poetry in society.
PHILOSOPHY S MOST INFLUENTIAL TEXT
Despite being over 16 centuries old, The Republic still has much to say about what it means to live a good life today. On the surface the book lays out Plato s plan for a perfect society, but The Republic is also an extended metaphor for individual human potential. Plato s ideal state or society is characterized by wisdom, courage, self–discipline and justice; qualities that also motivate and shape a well–balanced person someone who is just or good.
This keepsake edition includes an introduction by philosophy and personal development scholar Tom Butler–Bowdon, drawing out lessons for the contemporary reader, and showing the power of The Republic as a guide for success today.
