famous Republic by Plato has shaped modern political and social philosophy into what it is today. Often considered one of the most important philosophical works in history; Plato’s Republic delves into the concepts of justice, true happiness and more. The writings held within this book touch on almost every subject matter imaginable with perhaps the most significant being the discussion of forms of government and, more importantly, which one is best for society. It is concepts such as this which make Plato’s Republic an important and great analogy to our modern day society which, despite our technological progress, suffers from many of the same problems Plato wrestled with in his work.
