Can there be an ideal state, a modern rule of law? Is it worthwhile to study the political thought of Plato today? Can reading Plato make us fairer on both an individual and collective level?
In this book – the second in the series after Socrates – we meet Plato at his Academy, the first university in history. We discuss with him, and in a simple, lively, and understandable way, he explains his vision for the establishment of an ideal state, a state of law, where everyone's concern will be the common good and collective prosperity with absolute meritocracy.
- What kind of educational system leads to such a state?
- What role do laws play?
- What form of government is suitable for social progress?
An ever-relevant discussion that will make us redefine our relationship with true politics and become better citizens.
