The Republic (Greek ????te?a / Politeía) is a Socratic dialogue by Plato, written in approximately 360 BC. It is one of the most influential works of philosophy and political theory, and arguably Plato's best known work. The scene of the dialogue is the house of Polemarchus at Piraeus, a city-port connected to Athens by the Long Walls. Socrates was not known to venture outside of Athens regularly. The whole dialogue is narrated by Socrates the day after it actually took place - possibly to Timaeus, Hermocrates, Critias, and another unnamed person, but this interpretation is somewhat uncertain.[1] In addition to the named characters, there are several members of the Piraean religious procession present. Three interpretations, or summaries, of Plato's Republic follow. They are not, by any measure, an exhaustive representation, but represent accepted contemporary English language views on the work.
