Plato the Republic

I remember I had to read this book for PHI 103 and it was something that I enjoyed. It is basically a book long argument that why people should do good, even if that if they did evil, they would be rewarded and if they did good they would be punish. It was really interesting in that he made different examples such as taking a larger sample size, in the form of a city. Also in the book was the Allegory of the cave, which was a model of people chained watching shadows for all their lives. The shadows were all they knew and they could not tell what was reality or not. It was very much like real life.
