Before exploreing Plato's own theory, I want to think about what political philosophy is. It is like a title of a book in the course I would like to take. By the way, do you know the term "Political Philosophy"? I have just come across the field of study through preparing for my course I wish to take. Based on Wikipedia, it says. "political philosophy is the study of fundamental questions about the state, gorvenment, politics, liberaty, justice, property, rights, law and the enforcement of a legal code by authority. " In other words, it is the questions such as "What is the purpose of government?", "What characterises a good government?", "What should be the relationship between individuals and society?", "What are the limits of freedom?"or "Is freedom of speech a good idea?" In order to find the answer to these questions, we will look at important texts in the history of political theory. I think we can put politics into our lives. Politics exist around us very closely. However, some people including me don't pay much attention to it. It is necessary for me to question fundemental functions or thoughts for politics in this time. It will be the base of my descision to get involved in politics in my society or in the world.
See you,
Misaki
