Excerpt from Philosophical Lectures and Remains of Richard Lewis Nettleship, Vol. 2 of 2: Fellow and Tutor of Balliol College, Oxford; Edited, With a Biographical Sketch

Along with the main subject there are many incidental and subordinate subjects in the Republic; there is a great deal Of criticism Of existing institutions, practices, and opinions. The book may be regarded not only as a philosophical work, but as a treatise on social and political reform. It is written in the spirit Of a man not merely reflecting on human life, but intensely anxious to reform and revolutionize it. This fact, while giving a peculiar interest to Plato's writing, prejudices the calmness and impartiality Of his philosophy. He is always writing with crying evils in his eye - a characteristic in which he differs widely from Aristotle.
