A Study of Plato's Republic

About this book

A new interpretation of Plato's Republic. Craig investigates why this dialogue, ostensibly about justice, offers Plato's fullest account of philosophy and philosophers, and why it is preoccupied with war.

Being
a
lover

war

a
lover
of
wisdom
the
Goddess 
chose
the
place 
that 
would 
bear
men
most 
closely
resembling 
herself,
and
there 
made
her
first
settlement.
Timaeus

Courageous,
carefree,
scornful, 
violent
- 
so
wisdom 
wants
us:
she 
is 
a
woman
and
loves 
always 
only
a
warrior.
Thus
Spoke
Zarathustra
...
for
they 
loved
the
praise
of 
men
more 
than
the
praise
of
God.
