We come to the end of our three-episode exploration of Plato’s Republic, the seminal work of political philosophy composed mostly around 380 BCE. This episode covers pre-Socratic philosophy, the life of Socrates, and a really regrettable period of Plato's life when he tried to go into business as a political consultant and wound up stuck in the middle of what almost became a civil war. Don't leave the academy, bro.

In this episode, Rose also announces an exciting upcoming guest spot on the Omnibus podcast, where she'll be talking about E.A. Wallis Budge.
