ABSTRACT

Justice is a new topic in human society, and the exploration of justice is the eternal pursuit of human society. Plato's Republic, as the first book on justice in the history of human thought, is still of epoch-making value. Based on Plato's Republic, this paper analyzes the source of his justice thought from the aspects of the era background, theoretical basis and practical dilemma of his justice thought, so as to explain the core meaning of Plato's justice thought, that is, the harmonious unity of city-state justice and personal justice, and further clarify the realization path of city-state justice and personal justice. Plato's thought of justice still has important value implication and enlightening significance for the development of current education.
