Status Updates From The Republic

“On the other hand, when someone appropriates assets the assets of the citizen body and then goes on to rob them of their very freedom and enslave them, then denigration gives way to congratulation.”

It took me quite a while just to get through the introduction, but it was written in a very enjoyable style so I didn't mind as much.


For this book it was pretty helpful to have a general idea when this was written and why. So apparently Plato was 50 when he wrote his Republic/Constitution and it was an open criticism of how Athen was ruled at the time. Apparently this was pretty controversial.

my kefir exploded in my work bag on this book so reading is on hold for the moment
