Plato’s View on Justice and the Ideal State:- Literary Criticism

Plato’s View on Justice and the Ideal State:-

v Introduction:-
            “The republic” may be called a work on politics, yet philosophy lurks behind. In Plato’s vision, politics, and philosophy, art and morality, ethic and metaphysics, education and civilization are inter-related. Once Plato thought of being a
politician, but after he came into contact with Socrates, a revolution change in his outlook. All world ambition glitter and gold were gone. He became essentially a philosopher. In Plato’s opinion, Socrates was an embodiment of knowledge, an incarnation of wisdom. In “Crito” he considered Socrates as the noblest, the best and the wises of men. In all his works we find an echo of his master’s views and methods. “Virtue is Knowledge” are the catchwords of “The Republic”. Plato did not believe in guesswork, speculation, intuition and luck.
