Document Summary

Republic: the text we will be reading along with our critical thinking text book is the republic by plato. Help with reading the republic: study questions: map, tests and exams: application of concepts of critical thinking to the republic in order to analyze and evaluate it. Stephanus pagination: the numbers you find in brackets (see p. 1) are a way of referring to the works of plato called stephanus. Republic: the republic was written by the great philosopher plato who was born in athens in 428. Republic: socrates, who was actually plato"s teacher in reality, is challenged to show that thrasymachus" position is false: that justice is good and worth having for its own sake. Plato: coming from a noble family, it certainly was to be expected that plato would play a prominent part in the political life of athens. He devoted his life to the pursuit of philosophy instead.
