Zusammenfassung:"The 'Republic' dramatizes Socrates' attempt to convince Plato's brother Glaucon that the just life of philosophy is preferable to the unjUst life of tyranny. Jacob Howland argues that he failed, and that Glaucon joined his relatives Critias and Charmides in the brutal oligarchy of the Thirty Tyrants that governed Athens in the immediate aftermath of the Peloponnesian War.
