| Summary | "Πολιτεία, Τόμος 3" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in the 4th century BC. The text explores the nature of justice, the ideal state, and the role of philosophers as rulers. It delves into the distinctions between true knowledge and mere opinion, raising questions about the qualities that a true philosopher should possess in order to govern wisely. The opening of this volume centers around a discussion on the characteristics necessary for true philosophers who are fit to govern a state. The conversation emphasizes the philosopher's love for truth, their disdain for falsehood, and the importance of having a strong and clear understanding of justice and knowledge. The dialogue raises critical inquiries about the disparity between the virtues of genuine philosophers and the behavior of the so-called philosophers of the time, ultimately questioning how society perceives and values different kinds of knowledge and wisdom.
