A review by jacksezerhga
The Republic by Plato

adventurous reflective fast-paced

4.25

The analysis provided by the translator before each book makes for a firm companion but can sometimes divert to topics unrelated or reaching. I was very pleased with my reading of the Republic but found my interest and Engagement faltering at the last 2 books. Plato is poetic and demanding of acknowledgment. He explores metaphysics brilliantly and I believe this book to be essential to understanding political philosophy.
