Shraddha Raval

Plato's idea of the ideal state(The Republic) was so important to world history,that nearly every government in the world today calls itself a "Republic." Plato built his state on the analogy of an individual organism. He believed that the virtues of an individual and of the state were identical. He was of the view that an individual presented almost the same features and qualities on a smaller scale as society on a bigger scale.
