«La República o el Estado» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Edaf in paperback (424 pages, in Spanish).
Through dialogues between Socrates and other characters, Plato analyses what is just and unjust, and why justice should govern both the State and the life of each person. The work argues that virtue and the idea of the good are the principle of good order for societies and for souls.
The work belongs to the Biblioteca Edaf collection (no. 121) and includes an introduction by Carlos García Gual; its original Greek title is Πολιτεία.
A reference work for philosophy students and readers interested in classical thought.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
