Analysis of the Concept of Justice in "The Republic": A Deep Exploration Based on Text

Yatian He

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the concept of justice in Platos Republic. Through a detailed study of the text, it
sorts out Platos critique of the traditional concept of justice, the construction of city-state justice and individual justice, as well as the philosophical basis and realistic reflection behind the concept of justice. The study found that Platos view of justice, based on the theory of ideas,
pursued the harmonious order of the city-state and the soul, had a profound influence on Western philosophy and political thought, and also
provided an important theoretical source for contemporary society to think about the issue of justice.

Keywords
