  Article:   UTOPIA AND UTOPIC CONSTRUCTION IN PLATO’S THE REPUBLIC.

Authors:  .
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The paper outlines the complex process of conceiving an ideal construction of the city in Plato’s The Republic. Utopia becomes for Plato a true method of knowing a reality founded on the Idea. Imaginative freedom, control and ideal purging circumscribe such an approach.

Keywords: Plato, The Republic, utopia, ideal city, reason, cardinal virtues.
