The Republic by PlatoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Librivox audiobook review: Dialogues on the subjects of beauty, truth, justice, and a good life. Interesting commentary on the progression of government structure from oligarchy to democracy to tyranny. Commentary on the pursuit of wealth vs. justice in leadership. He supports women's service in the military. Also, a discussion on the immortality of the soul and the afterlife with a heaven and a hell. The book details issues of western civilization that are present in this time period.
