Newcastle’s Reviews > The Republic > Status Update

It took me quite a while just to get through the introduction, but it was written in a very enjoyable style so I didn't mind as much.


For this book it was pretty helpful to have a general idea when this was written and why. So apparently Plato was 50 when he wrote his Republic/Constitution and it was an open criticism of how Athen was ruled at the time. Apparently this was pretty controversial.
