The concept of justice occupies the most important part of Plato’s The Republic. Sabine says: “The theory of the state in The Republic culminates in the conception of justice.” He has treated justice as the bond which holds a society together. Hence it is the true principle of social life. The Republic deals with the bond and true principle of social life.
The purpose of The Republic is to ensure justice. The failure will invariably disintegrate the whole society. The philosopher king will take every care to establish justice. That is why The Republic is called a “treatise concerning justice” By elaborating the doctrine of Justice Plato wanted to combat the false notions which the Sophists spread. Ideal state is the highest manifestation of morality, goodness and idealism and, naturally, in such a state justice cannot be relegated to an inferior position.
Rather, it holds the highest position in the state. Different social classes are combined by the bond of justice and this makes the ideal state a perfect one.
The purpose of his Republic is not simply to provide peace and order and, at the same time, protection, but all the opportunities for social interchange which make up the necessaries and the amenities of civilized existence.
