Book Synopsis
Tracing a central theme of Plato's Republic, the author reconsiders in this study the nature and purpose of the comparison between the structure of society and that of the individual soul. With clarity and insight, he conveys the relation between the city and the soul and the choice between tyranny and philosophy.

Trade Review
"The good thing about this little book is that it is controversial. Ferrari is not afraid to stick his neck out, and he forces one to reexamine what one thinks oneself, if one disagrees with him." - John Dillon, Bryn Mawr Classical Review"
