The Republic is arguably Plato's most important work and was
written in his middle period, around 370-5 BC. It is a
philosophical masterpiece containing acute political theory as well
as being great literature, and as such is not easily understood on
first acquaintance. It has as its central problem the nature of
justice. In a word, what is justice? The central character is said
to be Socrates, Plato's own teacher as a young man, whom he had
seen tried and executed for his politics and religion. The Republic
is an examination of the figure of the philosopher, an examination
of metaphysics, and epistemology and is confirmation of Plato's
dedication to formulating a society based on eternal ideas of
truth, goodness and justice.
