Introduction
Plato was born in Athens, Greece. Therefore, he was a Greek
philosopher. He was the founder of the Platonist academy of
thoughts. He studied science, mathematics, and geometry.
However, geometry was his main motivation. Creating a free
society from injustice and conflict influenced him to write about
the republic. He aimed to teach the Greek leaders to create
communities where the people had free will. There were a lot of
injustices and political decay in the community. Therefore,
Plato wished to share the goodness of a free society with the
people and the leaders. Thus, he wrote the republic. According
to him, injustice meant taking other people's money and
kidnapping and enslaving citizens (Iwata Naoya 2018, pg56).
Understanding the philosopher's work
The fifty pages work read about Plato is; The Republic. The
republic is one of the famous works of Plato, which are the
lessons he learned from Socrates. It was the first book of Plato
that discussed the government or political science. In this book,
Plato creates an imaginary city, and he goes ahead to discuss
what is just and what justice looks like. According to the book,
the imaginary city is divided into classes. It has rulers who
understand what is wrong and right. It has guardians who take
for it and protect the city's people. In addition, it also has
producers who provide the city's people with goods and
services. The Republic books view political justice as harmony
in a structured political body. Each group in a political body is
supposed to perform its functions properly, and it should only
perform such a function and must be in the right position of
power compared to the other political bodies (Iwata Naoya
2018, pg56).
Thus, according to my understanding, the republic is a piece of
work that describes Plato's perception of the politics and the

3. business of the people in power who seek to manipulate the
citizens. It is meant to enlighten the unthinking masses to fight
for justice and a free society.

Importance of Plato's views in the 21st century
The main aim of the republic was to show the importance of
justice in society. Justice is good, and a person has to engage in
just activities even if there are no immediate advantages. Today
justice is in a person's life and social life. It means that every
class and individual is out in a proper position. It is according g
to their moral hierarchy, social hierarchy, and capabilities.
Justice is equality in the 21st century, and society is trying to
be. However, the leader's fight for justice and injustice is
severely punished.
