"It is clear to us that quite a bit of the teachings of the Republic have permeated human life for so long that it is difficult to stand up to this text in a clear critical position, unless we are willing to criticize a whole civilizational heritage, which we ourselves may be quite influenced by."

The "Republic" is one of the most important writings in the philosophy of justice. Through a philosophical dialog with a literary touch, Plato draws the features of the Utopia, whose members enjoy justice, and begins to prepare for it from the birth of children so that the task of raising them is the responsibility of the state, so that they do not have family or tribal affiliation, but only affiliation with the state.

Plato attaches great importance to reason and wisdom in achieving justice, emphasizing that the ruler must be a philosopher; Because it is better to manage society, and also the mind must be the leader to balance the characteristics of the human soul.

Plato rejects democracy; He believes that the ruler would then be a hypocrite of the people and seek to satisfy their lust, while women should have all the rights just like men.
