from The Dialogues of Plato
The Republic of Plato is the longest of his works with the exception of the Laws, and is certainly the greatest of them. There are nearer
approaches to modern metaphysics in the Philebus and in the Sophist; the Politicus or Statesman is more Ideal; the form and Institutions of the
State are more clearly drawn out in the Laws; as works of art, the Symposium and the Protagoras are of higher excellence. But no other Dialogue of
Plato has the same largeness of view and the same perfection of style; no other shows an equal knowledge of the world, or contains more of those
thoughts which are new as well as old, and not of one age only but of all. Nowhere in Plato Is there a deeper irony or a greater wealth of humour or
Imagery, or more dramatic power. Nor in any other of his writings is the attempt made to Interweave life and speculation, or to connect politics with
philosophy.
