Presented as a dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to philosophy, inviting its readers to reflect on the choices to be made if we are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work creates a picture of an ideal society governed not by the desire for money, power or fame, but by philosophy, wisdom and justice.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144994599070,"sku":"UBD-9780141442433","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141442433.jpg?v=1786877990","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141442433","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
