|  | The Republic by Luann Walther
In Plato?s Republic , his most celebrated dialogue, the philosopher condemns the justice and morality of Greek society after the trial and execution of his teacher, Socrates. Disillusioned with politics and politicians, Plato argued that civilization demanded truly enlightened government, led by philosopher-kings. He wrote that ...mankind will have no respite from trouble until either real philosophers gain political power or politicians become by some miracle true philosophers. AUTHOR: Luann Walther
