"La República" is a philosophical work by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Written around 380 BCE, it explores the nature of justice, the ideal state, and the role of the philosopher-king. The dialogue features Socrates discussing various concepts with other characters, ultimately proposing a society governed by wisdom and reason. The text introduces the famous allegory of the cave, illustrating how education can lead individuals from ignorance to enlightenment. It also outlines the structure of an ideal society, divided into three classes: rulers, warriors, and producers, each contributing to the harmony and stability of the state.
