It gives you the tools to evaluate everything else.
Justice, the soul, the city, the cave. What does it mean for a society to be well-ordered? What does it mean for a person to be? The Republic is the book that launched Western political philosophy — and it remains the most radical.

Ten Platonic dialogues almost nobody reads: Hipparchus, Minos, Lovers, Cleitophon, Theages, Alcibiades I, Laches, Lesser Hippias, Greater Hippias, Ion. The forgotten foundations — law, courage, beauty, gain, the lie.
