About the book:

Plato's most ambitious work and one of the most argued-over books in Western thought.

What is justice? Who should govern? What is the good life and who gets to live it?

Socrates builds his ideal city from scratch in conversation, piece by piece, and the result is by turns brilliant, troubling, and deeply strange
a utopia that keeps revealing authoritarian edges the closer you look.

The allegory of the cave is here, the theory of Forms, the philosopher-king, the infamous banishment of the poets.
Every subsequent political philosophy liberal, Marxist, fascist, anarchist has been either building on this foundation or arguing furiously against it for two and a half millennia.

The Penguin orange-spine edition, translated by Desmond Lee.
