Plato’s View on Justice and the Ideal State:-
v Introduction:-
“The republic” may be called a work on politics, yet philosophy lurks behind.
In Plato’s vision, politics, and philosophy, art and morality, ethic and metaphysics,
education and civilization are inter-related. Once Plato thought of being a
politician, but
after he came into contact with Socrates, a revolution change in his outlook.
All world ambition glitter and gold were gone. He became essentially a philosopher.
In Plato’s opinion, Socrates was an embodiment of knowledge, an incarnation of
wisdom. In “Crito” he considered Socrates as the noblest, the best and the
wises of men. In all his works we find an echo of his master’s views and
methods. “Virtue is Knowledge” are the catchwords of “The Republic”. Plato did
not believe in guesswork, speculation, intuition and luck.
