Sinossi
"La Repubblica" è, probabilmente, il più importante tra i dialoghi di Platone; senza dubbio è il più controverso e frainteso. Scritta nell'arco di molti anni, "La Repubblica" è uno specchio fedele della vastità e della complessità della speculazione platonica, di cui si può considerare a buon diritto la summa e la sintesi. Partendo dal concetto di giustizia, infatti, il campo dell'indagine si allarga sempre di più fino a prendere in esame la migliore costituzione di un'ipotetica città, affrontando via via etica, politica, psicologia, ontologia ed epistemologia, e aprendo problematiche che a tutt'oggi sono lontane dall'essere risolte.

My re-reading of this for my university course has led me to the same conclusions I found when I first read it a couple of years back, except this time I am fortunate enough to have understood it better than last time. My conclusions being that Plato, and through him Socrates, was very intelligent,
I’ve gotten into the habit of dividing up the books I’ve read by whether I read them before or after Plato’s Republic . Before The Republic , reading was a disorganized activity—much the same as wading through a sea of jumbled thoughts and opinions. I had no basis from which to select books, except by Leggi tutto
Is the attempt to determine the way of man’s life so small a matter in your eyes—to determine how life may be passed by each one of us to the greatest advantage? (1.344d)I propose therefore that we inquire into the nature of justice and injustice, first as they appear in the State, and secondly i Leggi tutto
“Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.” ― Plato, The Republic A book, that I suppose we all have to read, and in my personal experience should want to read. I read this as a task completing exercise, in Leggi tutto
