What books has Plato written? "The Republic," arguably Plato's most famous work, outlines his vision of a just society governed by philosopher-kings. It explores the theory of Forms, the allegory of the cave, and the concept of justice.
Why did Plato hate democracy? He posited that majority rule often results in the election of leaders who lack the requisite knowledge and experience to govern effectively, promoting a government that prioritizes short-term pleasures over long-term stability and justice.
