Abstract

Plato is one of the most influential authors in the history of ideas and his best known work, The Republic -- written in his familiar form of dialogue -- is widely regarded as a cornerstone of Western philosophy. Understanding Plato’s Republic provides readers with an accessible introduction to the concepts of justice that inform Plato’s masterwork, carefully explicating his main argument that we would be better off leading just lives rather than unjust ones. The book examines the basic ideas Plato uses to build up his theory of justice: his theories of forms, function and virtue; his psychology; his analogy between just society and a just person; and the knowledge of good that Plato deemed necessary for governing well. Also discussed are consequences of Plato's theory of justice, such as the equality of women and his criticisms of democracy. The book concludes with an insightful discussion of Plato’s passionate defense of his ideals of a good and just society and a just person.

Abstract

The original essays in this volume discuss ideas relating to political justice, distributive justice and addressing inequalities. These issues were as vigorously debated at the height of ancient Greek democracy as they are in many democratic societies today. Through perspectives from ancient Greece, contributing authors address topics relating to democracy, equality, justice, and other public goods, and they critically examine both the ancient debates and their historical context. Readers will discover research on the lessening of economic inequality during the Athenian democracy, and consideration of Plato’s critique of Greek participatory democracies. Early chapters look at Plato’s proposals such as abolition of private property for the ruling classes and his ideal constitution. Other papers discuss Socrates or Aristotle’s views that are particularly relevant to contemporary political and economic disputes about freedom, slavery, the status of women, and public education, to name a few. This thorough consideration of the ancient Greeks' work on democracy and equality will appeal to scholars and researchers of the history of philosophy, as well as those with an interest in political philosophy.
