The Republic by Plato
Now I'm reading the book of the Republic by Plato an actually very old book it was written almost 2,500 years ago it was translated to a lot of languages from the Greek to the Arabic Latin English and modern languages in general the books talks about how Society should be and Socrates the philosoph oper is going through conversations and arguments with other philosophers and other people in that time and his student bloto is writing down everything that his master is saying to learn wisdom and knowledge the book in general talks about very different things in life from education to marriage Society Army Wars anything and there is what I like about the book or the method of secretes it's his logical thoughts his logical way of thinking he always start with initial statement then based on this statement he will go further and prove more statements just like in math how we say that if x was 1 therefore x + 1 is two the same principle uses logical thoughts and logical way of thinking which is very good his ideas actually are you could say something related to the common sense but some of them actually are good and he believes for example there's a lot of ideas of course but he believes that Society should be ruled by philosophers he call them the Guardians all right and those Guardians should have a special life they only should focus about Society shouldn't Focus about their personal life at all they have some extreme ideas like if those Guardians would have kids they should take away their kids to always only focus on society and that of course extreme because those Guardians also have the right to live as parents right is what I think also he talks about how to raise kids in Young Generation depending on two things which is gymnastics stick the training of body and music training of Soul it's because if only we train the body the human would be monster and if we only train the soul the human would be weak and we want neither of them so also he talks about that wise person should only do one thing your life which I don't agree with him he said that painters should only practice painting think doctor should only practice medicine and so on I don't think that is true it could be true for most cases but some people are special you see some people are talented in more than one way more than one thing and also he talks about he talks about very constant he actually secre according to what I see now I'm reading the book and now I almost in the half of it more and half of it so he talks about he's very ethical that is actually great he talks about the importance of Justice in society and he has actually some you know nice actually Notions and ideas like he say that when there's because you know secret is from Greek he said like if there's Wars between cities of Greek we should call it Discord but if there's war between Greek cities and other other areas from the Warth should call it War so he said that languages is very important to describe things in a way that serve you that is actually a good point now there's more to read but until now this is what I remember from what I have read Because actually when I read I don't write down anything just memorize things when I record these videos or when I talk debate with my friends thank you and I I'm going to do God will in part two of this series about the Republic by ploto when I finished the book Thank you.
