[Rachel · Rating 1 out of 5]

I suppose this is considered a great work in philosophical circles, but I have little use for extraneous amounts of philosophical wonderings, and will leave it up to those who enjoy such things; and if, one day, some philosopher comes up with some great theory that literally changes the way I thin and live, then I might find some use for it. But this book held little for me but the ramblings of men with nothing better to do with their time but make pointless premises and then try to find fallacies on those premises.

Helpful for anyone who's willing to go through Plato's The Republic.
But it's quite boring. It's like a school book, not a book for a reader.

There were mixed messages in this book in a paradigm(three eyes) one eye was a makers eye the next a hidden door the second murder and lucifers show.
