“ When you read this book you have to read it in context. There are many interesting ideas on ethics, politics, metaphysics and epistemology here but a lot of it is just plain crazytown. In book three Plato actually devotes a lot of time to what kind of poetry should be allowed in the perfect state. WOW! Worth reading and more entertaining than many philosophy books but people really thought different in ancient Greece. ”
