Synopsis

This book delves into Plato's notion that the ideal state must comprise three distinct classes of citizen: the merchant, warrior, and philosopher. Starting with the concept that these classes arise naturally from human nature, the author explores the philosophies surrounding this structuring of an ideal society. In analysing Plato's ideas, the author illustrates their contemporary relevance, demonstrating how they relate to complex themes in current social discourse and highlighting their profound impact on Western thought. Moreover, the book unravels the Platonic paradox that these classes are separate yet interdependent, touching upon the challenges of governing and the essence of justice that is enforced in accordance with the ideal state. This book is perfect for those interested in political thought, political science, and the evolution of political structures.
