Which ancient philosopher brought us a dialogue called "The Republic"?
a. Socrates
b. Plotinus
c. Plato
d. Aristotle
The answer is C, Plato!
The Republic (c. 380 BCE) is a Socratic dialogue about the order and character of the City-State. The dialogues, among Socrates and various Athenians and foreigners, discuss the meaning of justice, and examine whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man, by proposing a society ruled by philosopher-kings and the guardians; hence the The Republic's original Ancient Greek title: Πολιτεία | Politeía (City-State Governance). Plato’s best-known work, The Republic proved to be one of the most intellectually and historically influential works of philosophy and political theory.
