De republiek van Plato : In het Nederduitsch overgebragt by Plato
"De republiek van Plato: In het Nederduitsch overgebragt" is een philosophical dialogue originally by Plato, translated into Dutch during the mid-19th century. This work primarily discusses the nature of justice and the ideal state. It revolves around the character of Socrates as he engages in a debate with other figures such as Glauco and Polemarchus about the concept of justice and what constitutes a just society. The opening of the text introduces
a journey to the city of Piraeus, where Socrates, accompanied by Glauco, attends a religious festival. They encounter friends and acquaintances, including Polemarchus, who invites them for a discussion. The conversation quickly turns to the topic of justice as they reflect on wealth, age, and the nature of a good life. Through dialogues with Cephalus and Polemarchus, Socrates begins to dissect the definition of justice, questioning commonly held beliefs and suggesting that true justice is more complex than merely repaying debts or helping friends at the expense of enemies. This sets the stage for a rigorous exploration of philosophical questions throughout the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
