Plato | The Republic - Book 1

The Republic is a Socratic dialogue, authored by Plato around 375 BC, concerning justice (δικαιοσύνη), the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man. It is Plato's best-known work and has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically.

In Book 1 The scene is set and the characters are introduced. The subject of the dialogue, justice or right conduct, is introduced in a preliminary discussion with Cephalus who, in effect, describes it as telling the truth and paying one's debts. Polemarchus takes up the argument and maintains that justice is giving a man his due. Socrates draws a series of unacceptable conclusions in order to demonstrate the inadequacy of this conventional view.
