The Republic wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated it being. When I startes the book it seemed like such a daunting task because Plato was never been something thay seemed like it would be easy
The story, I call it that because there doesn't seem to be any other word in my vocabulary that accurately describes what the book really is, is narrated by none other than Socrates. I thought this gave the book an extra dimension because if you can't trust Socrates who can you trust?
I agree with the majority of the idea that Plato introduces in the book and found some of them more radical than ideas that have been though up in our modern age. His society ruled by philosophers is what I believe to be the perfect society that we have been searching for for centuries.
I give this book 7 warriors out of 10. The second half was very repetitive and grew very dry very fast but it was still a fascinating read.
