With an Introduction by Stephen Watt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideas of Plato (c429-347BC) have influenced Western philosophers for over two thousand years. Such is his importance that the twentieth-century philosopher A.N. Whitehead described all subsequent developments within the subject as foot-notes to Plato’s work. Beyond philosophy, he has exerted a major influence on the development of Western literature, politics and theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eRepublic\u003c\/em\u003e deals with the great range of Plato’s thought, but is particularly concerned with what makes a well-balanced society and individual. It combines argument and myth to advocate a life organized by reason rather than dominated by desires and appetites. Regarded by some as the foundation document of totalitarianism, by others as a call to develop the full potential of humanity, the \u003cem\u003eRepublic\u003c\/em\u003e remains a challenging and intensely exciting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48993018642779,"sku":"","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/files\/6_91a78805-d5e1-4167-a2a0-cae7f4bdb7bd.jpg?v=1757680571","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/plato","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
