Justice in Plato's Republic

Discover a fresh perspective on Plato's concept of justice in "Justice in Plato's Republic" by Roslyn Weiss. Set to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2025, this thought-provoking hardback spans 218 pages and delves into the intricate relationships between the political and personal dimensions of justice. Contrary to the common belief that Plato views justice as an internal matter, Weiss argues that in Book 1 of the Republic, justice is fundamentally external and focused on our interactions with others. This engaging exploration invites readers to rethink traditional interpretations and consider the broader implications of justice in both society and the individual. Ideal for philosophy enthusiasts and scholars alike, this book promises to enrich your understanding of one of the most significant works in Western philosophy.
