The Sequence of Forms of Government in Plato's ‘Republic’ compared with the Actual History of Greek Cities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2009
Extract
Ineed scarcely remind the Society, for the most part, of the subject of the Republic of Plato, the longest and in some respects the most important of his dialogues. But as it is as well not to take too much for granted, I will briefly describe its purport. Nearly all points of the Platonic philosophy are treated or glanced at in the Republic, but the ostensible subject is an inquiry into the nature and meaning of Justice.
