Plato’s Republic

In this seminal work Plato enquires, with great philosophical perception, into the nature of justice and man’s role in society. Such enquiry, he says, also leads naturally to questions about the role of a nation and the conduct of its affairs.

The Republic encompasses very many of the outstanding issues of our present age in the fields of law, education, leadership and government, including the key question: how should I lead my life?

Come and join in this fascinating exploration of justice as described by Plato and see how it informs us about ourselves and our nation. The principles that he uncovered in ancient Greece are essentially the same as we face today.

The course is interactive in nature. All are warmly welcome. No previous knowledge is required.
