{"product_id":"justice-in-platos-republic","title":"Justice in Plato's Republic","description":"In Book 4 of Plato's Republic, Socrates introduces what is regarded by scholars as the Platonic account of justice, according to which it is essentially internal and self-regarding, a matter of relations among the parts of a city or soul. In this book, Roslyn Weiss contends that there is another notion of justice, as other-regarding and external, which is to be found in a series of conversations in Book 1 between Socrates and three successive interlocutors. Weiss considers the relationship between justice as conceived in Book 1 and Book 4, and carefully examines what can be learned from each of the arguments. Her close analysis of Book 1 brings to light what Socrates really believed about justice, and extracts and explores this Book's many insights concerning justice—at both the political and the personal level.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483493835125,"sku":"9781009466516","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781009466516.jpg?v=1786178662","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/justice-in-platos-republic","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
