# Πολιτεία, Τόμος 2

By Plato.

"Πολιτεία, Τόμος 2" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written around 380 BCE. In this work, Socrates and other Athenians debate the meaning of justice and whether a just person lives more happily than an unjust one. Through their discussion, they construct an ideal city called "Kallipolis" governed by philosopher-kings. The dialogue explores the nature of the philosopher, Plato's Theory of Forms including the famous Allegory of the Cave, the conflict between philosophy and poetry, and the parallel between the human soul and the city.
