A review by jeremie
The Republic by Plato

3.75

surprisingly accessible!! but i'd suggest having at least some knowledge of the platonic Forms before reading this, since he just kind of assumes the reader already knows of them and doesn't describe them very well here. the practical implementation of this illusive ideal State became a bit grating to read at times (i really don't care how long they should practice arithmetic for. and i don't care whether or not they should be taught astronomy. just give me more cave allegories please) but overall this was a very fun read! easy enough that no reading guide is required which is always a welcome surprise for classics written before the common era
