Description
The Republic – Plato , By – Prem Sagar, ISBN Code – 978-93-86241-34-4
NUMBER OF PAGES – 176
Republic is still read with great interest. It is still relevant as it speaks on questions of war and expansionism. Plato advises to remain always in readiness against aggression but he is against encroachment. He has written against poets, but he has unwittingly given the idea of aesthetic criticism. His influence on some of the romantic poets cannot be overlooked.
