The Socratic Dialogues: Middle Period

"The Republic" is a vital text among Plato's Socratic Dialogues, featuring Socrates as he explores his vision of the ideal city-state through conversations with figures like Cephalus and Glaucon. Organized into ten books, the dialogue delves into topics such as the structure of a perfect community, the roles of philosophers and philosopher-kings, and the various forms of government, including timocracy and tyranny. This engaging audiobook, part of the complete Socratic Dialogues series, is narrated with authority by David Rintoul and uses Benjamin Jowett's classic translation.
