Praised and condemned by totalitarians, democrats, liberals, fascists, communists, progressives, and conservatives, this work is one of the most influential writings in political thought. The philosopher, through Socrates, articulates the principles of a challenging political structure. The defense of philosophical governance highlights the need to differentiate between true and false philosophers, leading to the central question of the Good, which underpins both philosophical knowledge and political action. Following the introduction of this principle, the focus shifts to the education of philosophers, a topic explored in Book VII. This volume includes contributions addressing key themes from Books V-VII, which have garnered scholarly attention over the past century, including practical philosophy, metaphysics, dialectics, and the nature of the Good. The contents feature discussions on philosophical government, the education of rulers, the phenomenology of the masses, and the analogy of the sun in relation to the Good, among others. Each section delves into the intricate connections between being, knowledge, and the ideal state, reflecting the enduring impact of these ideas on contemporary political discourse.
