柏拉圖（約前427—前347），古希臘哲學(xué)家，也是西方最偉大的哲學(xué)家和思想家之一，一生著述頗豐。他的對(duì)話體著作文筆生動(dòng)、富有戲劇性，不僅是優(yōu)秀的哲學(xué)著作，亦是優(yōu)美的文學(xué)作品。

本書涉及柏拉圖思想體系的各個(gè)方面，包括哲學(xué)、倫理、教育、文藝、政治等內(nèi)容，最主要的是探討理想國(guó)家的問(wèn)題。對(duì)話錄里柏拉圖以蘇格拉底之口通過(guò)與其他人對(duì)話的方式設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)真、善、美相統(tǒng)一的政體，即可以達(dá)到公正的理想國(guó)。在他的理想國(guó)里統(tǒng)治者必須是哲學(xué)家，他認(rèn)為現(xiàn)存的政治都是壞的，人類的真正出路在于哲學(xué)家掌握政權(quán)，也只有真正的哲學(xué)家才能拯救當(dāng)時(shí)城邦所處的危機(jī)。這種信念構(gòu)成了柏拉圖成熟的政治哲學(xué)體系的核心。
