Title: Great- from a students perspective
Review: I read this book in conjunction with Utopia for my Senior Thesis and was expecting it to be very difficult. Thank god it wasn't. Through dialogue, Socrates proves many interesting philosophical ideas that are easy enough to understand by most high school students yet complex enough to have entire college courses dedicated to their study. It seems to me that there are few books written that have had such profound impact on their field. Plato's Repulic is the defining book on the philosophical field, and is the beginnings for all Utopian literature. Any student or avid reader who is interested in understanding where modern thought started should read The Republic before anything else.
