The Republic ????????

Benjamin Jowett

The Republic ????????

Text in Greek, French and English. -- Plato was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought, and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. -- Platon né en 428 av. J.-C. et mort en 348 av. J.-C. à Athènes, est un philosophe antique de la Grèce classique, contemporain de la démocratie athénienne et des sophistes qu'il critiqua vigoureusement. La République (en grec ★★★★★★?? [politeía], "la constitution") est un des dialogues de Platon portant principalement sur la justice dans l'individu et dans la Cité. Platon fait la critique de la démocratie dans sa dégénérescence en démagogie et en tyrannie à cause de l'attrait qu'exerce le prestige du pouvoir. Il s'agit de l'ouvrage le plus connu et le plus célèbre de Platon en raison, entre autres, du modèle de vie communautaire exposé et de la théorie des Formes que Platon y expose et défend. -- In the dialogue, Socrates talks with various Athenians and foreigners about the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man. They consider the natures of existing regimes and then propose a series of different, hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis (★★★★★★????), a city-state ruled by a philosopher king. They also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's setting seems to be during the Peloponnesian War.
