In his treatise The Republic, philosopher Plato lays out his ideas on justice, truth, and goodness through a series of dialogues with his own teacher, Socrates. Written in ancient Greece, the Republic delves into the philosophical nature of politics, justice, and government.
Emphasizing balance and harmony, Plato progresses through a series of scenarios ranging from the raising of children to the implementation of political systems. Among the most notable of the ideas in this work is the idea of the philosopher-king, a ruler who embodies truth and goodness.
By emphasizing that these values are applicable on all scales, he underscores their universality. Later philosophers have both critiqued The Republic and refined its precepts as foundations for their own visions of a just society.
Plato’s The Republic was first published in c. 380 BCE. Considered one of the most influential philosophers in history, Plato is known for formulating his theories through Socratic dialogue. Plato's writing has made dense philosophical ideas accessible to countless thinkers, students, and scholars.
The Republic contains many important ideas, including justice and government, as philosophers argue over the definition and advantages of justice and governance of the city-state; poetry, as poetry can be removed from reality and misleading to youths because it can describe an imitation of the ideal; and forms and ideas, as everything people experience through their senses could just be a copy of the real, ideal thing. Important symbols include the soul and cave.

Why is the host talking about this as if he is describing this years match card for Wrestlemania?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly 🤣🤣
Micheal Cole explaining how Plato was against poets
That was literally my first thought. Why is this dude yelling at me
Its called enthusiasm. Try learning something from someone who isnt enthusiastic about what theyre teaching. Its impossible to pay attention lol
This is why we don't do cocaine before doing our book reports
😂😂😂
You don’t???
he is so excited that i am distracted
lmfao so true
y why is he talking like that? not normal.
He sounds like he is perpetually advertising and summarizing the previous/next book dragon ball Z styled, simultaneously.
🤣
@@GB3770 Americans!
Honestly waited for him to say "You fool, you fell for one of the classic blunders"
Was just about to comment this omg 😂
That comment is hilarious 😆
Yes, I think he advocates for a land war in Asia.

i understood that reference lol
Damn came to learn not get yelled at.
🤣
😂😂
🤣
People need to stop hating on this man, he's bringing the enthusiasm I need to be engaged
Bro, go get some psychiatric help if this is the level of audio stumulation you "need".
@@The_Invisible_Self Bro, go get some psychiatric help if a "level of audio" hurts you that much.
Its patronizing tbh. He's speaking as if we are adhd kids.
@@Laocoon283 lol I need it tbh. Better than being monotonous
THIS SUNDAY WE ENGAGE IN A RIVETING AND HEROING DISCUSSION ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT AND FOUNDATIONAL PIECE OF PHILOSOPHICAL LITERATURE IN ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY. PLATO'S REPUBLIC!!!
Great narrative, would be great to have subtitles as some terms are quite specific
100% agree
Definitely
Very knowledgeable, just struggle with the presentation. Thank you non the less
Trust me guys, this is vastly preferable to my professor's monotoned, heavily accented, slow as hell approach to philosophy lectures
agreed 1000000%
No seriously! I don’t know why so many people are complaining
Good point
I think the focus should be towards the contents of the lectures instead of pronunciation or structure.
very good presentation indeed , but your narration is annoying. the way you present it but thank you , very knowledgeable
Play back speed .75x thank me later
for real, thank you
@@amiraxkawkab your welcome 🙌
Thank you👍🏾
@@michaeljackson2752 your welcome 💪
Play back speed .25 thank me in 2 years
Exactly how many double white mocha lattes did you drink before this presentation ?
His way of speaking is the only way my zoomer brain can stay engaged
Haha
did they make u speak this way or are u just like this
Ayden Chi which way. Do you know how to speak articulately or are you limited in your ability to express a thought
LMAO
@@PhilosophySama you can speak articulately without being overly-enthusiastic in every sentence.
Thank you this really helped me understand the book in depth
thanks it helped me a lot and i like ur enthusiasm
Love the enthusiasm
I love how animated this guy is about the republic
Extremely engaging and enlightening. THANK YOU for the work that was put into this!
God bless this dude... he's helped me through Intro to Shakespeare, Literary History I, and now Understanding Theory and Criticism 😭🙏 I'll probably need him for Literary History II as well. Thank you so much for your help!!!
So interesting and analytical, giving an insight into the different themes in an uncluttered manner
Thank you for your enthusiastic summary! It is much more impressionable than subtle explanations. I see you already have a ton of “appreciative” haters/critics. That’s definitely a sign of success.
Or it is a sign of not taking criticism constructively and being okay with the far fewer appreciators of this form of presentation. Imagine the success if this was legible for the majority of would-be listeners.
this helped a lot dude you're awesome
PSA: .75 speed is better than default, esp. for ppl with audio processing struggles
Important to remember to skim the book at least twice, if not read it briskly, once to get more info before tests.
Gotta make up for your lisp with charisma and enthusiasm. Well done sir!
Why all the shouting? Lower the octave. Otherwise, a very good description and analysis.
Stop shitting on this guy people, this guy is like the one and only holy savior of us high school/college students who didn't have time to do their assigned reading homework for English. The fact that these videos are actually informative and are well made with good production is more than a blessing to us.
Well your defintley not gonna be a guardian with that kind of work ethic.
Nearly finished reading through The Republic. It can be very difficult to understand at times, but gives you a lot to think about.
What are y'all about on .75x I'm on 2x speed and think he is on a moderate pace
This video was 💯 times more entertaining than the book itself.
Boooo
Difficult to follow. Natural language is the best for learning. The visuals were too vague to add value to the storytelling. A lot of opportunity for details were missed with this presentation. I as a viewer would have liked to have been just as excited in learning this material but it came across as a commercial you want to tune out as its selling something you don't want. Visuals could have helped by keeping me focused as well as different voices reenacting the different characters positions and truly getting the main points from the books. Overall, I ddin't feel like I learned anything from this video.
I mean, if you wanted the details, listen to an audiobook, this is just a summary
Reading Plato’s Republic now - it starts OK but DAMN it goes off on a wild tangent of absurdity
Exactly my view
This guy sounds like a Robin Black fight breakdown
I didnt expect for this comment to be here
He speaks with passion.
Please gave subtitle with this video, that easly understood us.
If this guy tuned it down from a 10 to like an 7, I am in on this.
This helped video me a lot for my research. Thank you!
Dude would make an incredible voice actor
new host, more clear outline please
Way to enthusiastic with your speech for me to understand anything you're saying, listening to this gave me a headache
The way he speaks, it’s almost like he wants to compete with Michael Buffer the ring announcer for boxing matches and for some Wrestlemania events.
wow, this book came out 2381 years ago.
Really well explained. Thank you!
This guy sounds like an Invigaron salesman.
If a speaker emphasizes everything then nothing is emphasized
Nice presentation. It helped me a lot👍
Very intelligent and clear.
Thank you.
Incorrect titel. "Republic" wasn't the titel Plato called it. The titel was "politea" - in English the "state".
Why is this a book by Plato but Socrates seems to be the main character?
Plato was a student of Socrates. Socrates did not write any works. Plato recorded down “dialogues” of Socrates such as Euthyphro, Meno, Apology, and Phaedo. It is questionable which ideas are Plato’s and which are Socrates’, but once you get to the Republic this work is certainly Plato’s own ideas. Aristotle makes reference to Plato’s theory of forms so clearly it is not something Socrates posited.
I can't with this guy lol.
why are you yelling
I think he's trying to replace the Sham-Wow guy.
waaoo very good. Thank for this wonderful presentation man
I AM THE PRETENDER; HELLO ALIEN. HOW ARE YOU SOCRATES?
heres the thing though ... if "The Republic" were correct and its teaching without flaw ... then why are we all still arguing about what "justice" is today?
shouldnt it be clear what justice is?
but yet .. there are 9 billion people in the world .. with 9 billion different ideas of what justice actually is ..
Nowhere close to 9 billion different ideas.
@@michaels4255 well we can clearly see that you are nowhere close to intelligent
Who says “The Republic” is right about everything?
We’re here to learn about what it says, not necessarily to agree with everything in it!
When we study philosophy, we read various works that contain various-and often conflicting-ideas. We can’t possibly believe all the things we read; and we’re not expected to.
@@terry9238 that's an interesting point from someone who's never read Plato's Republic...
The fact Plato's Republic has been around for damn near 3000 years and still hasn't been disproven is the proof is right about everything...
Idiot
@@michaels4255 you think there are vast groups of people with the same exact beliefs and ideas? No... Even in fanatical groups like the religious each and every person has slightly different view points than the next.
When 7 people look at the single moon in the sky. They all see a different moon. So is there only one moon? Or 7 different moons occupying the same space.
This is the entire reason why there are different versions of the same religion... All versions of Christianity started with catholicism, then along came Martin Luther with his protest document nailing it to the church door but then wait then you have Joseph Smith and his golden plates... Well gee what happened ... Are you telling me that in a group of people that are supposed to have the same ideas the same beliefs that not everyone had the same ideas or beliefs and had a different view point...
Well gee...
Same with politics.. not every republican agrees with every other republican and not all independents agree on every topic
Every person in existence has their own DNA, their own fingerprints, and their own viewpoints their own opinions and their own asshole...
So you are completely wrong.
The number of humans in existence is the number of different viewpoints of any given topic... And to be honest you're a complete idiot if you think otherwise... I mean what is your problem having your own opinion and your own viewpoint that differs from mine... You really are done kind of asshole proving me right when you claim I'm wrong...
Do you get that.. it's sarcasm... Because in your claim they in wrong you actually proved me right...
Relax chief, jeez I'm trying to learn
Why is the host talking about this as if he is describing the lore of the Blue Eyes White Dragon card?
ngl, i love this man 💪
Thanks you sir, i mean it
I fw the enthusiasm philosophy is lit
I like your video and presentation style! Good job, brother! I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Just try and chill a bit man!
Nah. Let his passion spill all over.
Distracting and unnecessary style of narration!
The question is: is it coffee or is it coke?
I loved your energy in presenting
TODAY WE TALK ABOUT THE BOOOOKS BY THE CHAMPION, THE PHILOSOPHER, PLAAATOOOOOOO!!!!
Informative! You can present it better, all the best buddy✌️
God I hope this isn't what my students think I sound like
I hate people.. you came here because you either haven't read it, can't read it, or don't understand it.. this dude is enthused about it.. quit being ignorant trolls
Did anyone else notice that he said Socrates allegory of the cave and not Platos? Is he correct and am I wrong? Or is that statement wrong? I'm confused because I was taught that it was platos allegory of the cave not Socrates. Can someone explain this?
BTW it starts at 6:40
socrates didnt write anything himself (that we know of)
Please try to add subtitles in Hindi.... I'm student of political science and I have Western thinker in my syllabus so pls try to add subtitles....so that Hindi medium students also see your Vedio
People always have to say something they dont like -_- I thought the narration style was engaging, thank you!
Well people are in fact allowed to have different opinions as you
I AM THE INTELLIGENCE.
WHAT INFACT IS A MISTAKE IN PHILOSOPHY?; IF INFACT A MISTAKE IN ANY FIELD OF DISCIPLINARY INQUIRY EXIST AT ALL-SPHERE.
I cannot take this seriously if its presented like a football game
The host makes this distractingly unwatchable.
It’s B.C. Let’s not overcomplicate Jesus
He is Vizinni from Princess Bride
are u good
THE EGO ACCORDING TO DR. FREUD EXIST.
THEREFORE STRANGER THINGS EXIST.

Why the Greeks eyeless in Gaza?
Thank you. Helpful content. I just wish you didn't speak this loudly!
this is great, thank you
Very good overview
Im gambling my midterm grade lmao
PREVIOUSLY ON DRAGON BALL Z!
The Republic is the book of plato... why are you using "socrates" teacher of plato at many places???
What is the meaning of "the return of a deposit of gold which is to the injury of the receiver is not the repayment of a debt" ?
Let’s put it this way:
Paying someone a million dollars after killing their only son wont make them forgive you. You still owe them the life and joy that was taken from them.
Or if someones car crashed into you and you became paralyzed, no amount of money will give you your mobility back
It means to return money that you borrowed from a friend is a good thing unless he is going to use that money for something that's bad for him (Like drugs or whatever).
@@kjl3080 no
I didn't know Kyle's dad was into philosophy.
I’m reading this in high school and I love the text but. I still need help
POV: You are Greek and studying this in High School
damn thats a lot of energy man, but thank you
THUS SOCRATES NOW IS AS I AM. (23)
Stop screaming dude.
Why are you yelling at me? 😢
Dude calm down. I cant focus on what u are saying
ADHD much?
@@vidanueva6192 no, for most people, having someone this over the top and enthusiastic can make it difficult to obtain the message. I see that you like this style, based on your comments to everyone who disagrees, but for a lot of us this was distracting. It doesn't mean we have ADHD, just a different learning style. while it may be engaging for you, and thats awesome, it is important to give this instructor feedback so he can continue to grow and meet the needs of all the students trying to learn from him. Your bio says you aim to be gentle, but telling someone they have adhd seems to be the exact opposite. please practice what you are preaching and treat people with the kindness and be the change that you want to see in the world.
interesting .i did understand a bit
Subtitles please
