About the book
The Republic is a dialogue by Plato, the Athenian philosopher, written in the 4th century BCE. Socrates, Plato’s teacher, tells it in his own voice: how he went down to the Piraeus, the port of Athens, for a festival and was taken to the house of the old man Cephalus, where the talk turned to justice.
