Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge; what is the purpose of education? With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by 'philosopher kings'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated by DESMOND LEE with an Introduction by MELISSA LANE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45073491427507,"sku":"9780140455113","price":480.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/91nYfNvYa7L.jpg?v=1762870220","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-republic-penguin-classics","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
