The Republic by Plato

5.0

Yes, I finished this masterpiece by The Master himself.. Plato is by no means perfect but he sets the stage and questions everything and everyone.. I used couple of other books to understand him better and there was this quote “the rest of philosophy is footnotes to Plato’s work” and I agree.. he set the wheels of thought turning.. he stood in front of the crowd and asked all the seemingly absurd and “wrong” questions of the time. And you’ve to give it to him, he is still relevant.. I would suggest go with the translation by Benjamin Jowett, it is really comprehensive and archaic at the same time.
