Sinossi

Plato's "The Republic" stands as a cornerstone of Western philosophy, exploring themes of justice, politics, and the ideal state through a dialectical dialogue primarily between Socrates and various interlocutors. Employing a blend of philosophical inquiry and literary artistry, Plato navigates through complex arguments on the nature of justice, the construction of an ideal society, and the role of the philosopher-king. With its rich allegorical content, particularly the allegory of the cave, "The Republic" critiques contemporary Athenian society while presenting a visionary blueprint for achieving a harmonious and just community. Plato, a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle, wrote "The Republic" during a time of political upheaval in ancient Greece, particularly after the fall of Athenian democracy. His formative experiences with Socratic dialogues profoundly shaped his philosophical approach, leading him to ponder the implications of governance, morality, and human knowledge. By establishing the Academy and advancing his philosophical treatises, Plato sought to influence future generations in envisioning a society grounded in philosophical wisdom. This essential text is highly recommended for readers seeking a deep understanding of philosophical thought and its application to political theory. "The Republic" resonates with contemporary issues of governance and ethics, making it not merely an ancient treatise but a living text that continues to inspire discussions on justice and the moral fabric of society.

    * "Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself."* "Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank."Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in Kainchi, Vrindavan, Rishikesh, Shimla, Neem Karoli village near Khimasepur in Farrukhabad, Bhumiadhar, Hanumangarhi, Delhi in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God.There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke.
