provide penetrating insights into questions and issues that still face us
today. His Dialogues can be very challenging and there is no better way of
studying them than in the company of others sharing the spirit of inquiry. On the Day, with the help of presentations and group discussions
based on ‘The Republic’ we will
consider the questions; ‘What is Justice?’ ‘Is justice the key to
happiness?’ We will also look at Socrates’ picture of the ideal city. This event is open to everyone.There is no need to have studied either Plato or philosophy
