Justice, the state, and the soul

Plato’s *Republic* develops its political ideas through a dialogue led by Socrates, moving between questions about justice in society and justice in the individual. Its discussions of the ideal state, truth, knowledge, education, and leadership are paired with the Cave allegory, the divided line, and an account of the soul’s structure. This combination makes the work both a political-philosophical inquiry and an examination of how people reason about the good life. The deluxe hardbound edition presents a foundational text in which arguments about civic order and personal conduct are considered together.
