Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, grade: A+, Johns Hopkins University, course: Western Political Philosophy, language: English, abstract: In this essay, Michael Ernest Sweet examines the concept of Plato's philosopher-king as found in "The Republic".
