Plato's Republic - c. 400 BCE - Plato's work entitled The
Republic explained Plato's views on Government. The
Republic describes an ideal, or utopian, state, and is considered
to be one of the first works of utopian literature. The public in
Plato's Republic is divided into three groups, a ruling elite of
serving philosopher kings, the courageous or warriors, and the masses,
farmers, artisans, laborers, and tradesmen. In Plato's ideal, each
group fulfills its assigned role and contributes to the unity and
stability of the state. important
