The Republic

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the concept of justice, the dialogue delves into its manifestation within both society and the individual. Socrates proposes that understanding justice on a larger scale, through the structure of a city, may illuminate its presence in personal conduct. Critics, including Julia Annas, argue that the political framework serves as an analogy for the soul, where conflicting aspects must be harmonized under a just governance. This philosophical inquiry ultimately seeks to bridge the gap between collective and individual justice.
