In the dialogue that forms Book I of \u003ci\u003eThe Republic\u003c\/i\u003e Socrates meets the arguments first of Polemarchus, that justice means speaking the truth and paying one's dues in the broadest sense; then of Thrasymachus, that it is nothing more than the power which the strong exercise over the weaker members of society. In reality, Book I concludes, justice, self-control (\u003ci\u003esophrosyne\u003c\/i\u003e), and virtue (\u003ci\u003earete\u003c\/i\u003e) are 'natural'; the city which displays them is most truly free; the individuals who possess them will achieve their true destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 7.6 x 6.52 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42704522870847,"sku":"9781853992544","price":71.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/f16217dde65716222678cc2f1c5b93e0.webp?v=1765033554","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/plato-republic-i-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
