The Republic

Meer over het boek

The dialogues explore the complexities of knowledge and perception, showcasing Socratic irony and the midwife metaphor, reflecting both early and later philosophical themes. Characterized by a perfect style and dramatic interest, the text presents a nuanced examination of epistemology. While stylistic elements align with Plato's earlier works, the subject matter indicates a deeper connection to his later writings. This duality enhances the dialogue's richness, making it a significant piece within Plato's body of work.
