The Republic, perhaps the greatest single treatise written on political philosophy, has influenced strongly the thought of Western man concerning the questions of justice, rule, obedience and the good life. This is true whether one agrees with Plato's answer or, if dissatisfied, seeks a different solution. The work is also undoubtedly the best introduction to Plato's philosophy in general. Not only does it contain his ideas on the state and man, but also his famous theory of forms, his theory of knowledge and his views on the role of music and poetry in society.
