520			_aPlato's Republic a classic work of the fourth century B.C., raises questions that are still at the heart of many modern conflicts. What is knowledge? What goodness? What is political authority? Plato see these questions as aspects of a single theme. He offers a portrait of an ideal community in which power is entrusted to philosophy, and other men and women accept the rule of the wise and the good. The introduction emphasizes the breadth and scope of the wank, and the importance of seeing Plato's morals and legislation in the context of his metaphysics and theory knowledge. A comprehensive body of endnotes has also been supplied for the guidance of the general reader, the classical student and the philosopher who does not know Greek
