Republic The Odyssey of Philosophy

In the Republic, Plato addresses the deepest questions about the human soul and human community, the proper objects of worship and reverence, the nature of philosophy, and the relationship between the philosopher and the political community. As presented in the Republic, Socratic philosophising is eternally unfinished, paradoxical, and ambiguous. According to Jacob Howland, this openness allows for ever-fresh approaches to the questions Plato raises.Howland, Jacob is the author of 'Republic The Odyssey of Philosophy', published 2004 under ISBN 9781589880153 and ISBN 1589880153.
