    The Republic is a text by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato, written in the form of a Socratic dialogue.

Socrates discusses the degradation of society through timocracy, oligarchy, democracy and tyranny. The Allegory of the Cave presents a philosophical discrepancy between appearances and true forms and his Myth of Er describes consequences in the afterlife.
