Judul asli karya ini adalah kata dalam bahasa Yunani {{polytonic|πολιτεία}} (lihat: [[politeia]]). "The Republic" (bahasa Indonesia: "Republik"), terjemahan tradisional dalam bahasa Inggris, sebetulnya salah kaprah, yang diambil dari bahasa Latin Cicero (lihat pula ''[[De re publica]]''). |

||
Judulnya dalam bahasa Yunani ''Politeia'' berasal dari kata "[[polis]]", yang lebih kurang dapat diterjemahkan dengan kata "kota", atau lebih tepatnya "negara-kota". Untuk mencerminkan makna ini, banyak bahasa menerjemahkan ''Politeia'' sebagai ''Negara'' (bahasa Inggris: ''The State''), termasuk [[bahasa Belanda]] (''De staat'') dan bahasa Jerman (''Der Staat''). Konsep ''politeia'' dalam bahas Yunani kuno dianggap sebagai suatu cara hidup. Jadi, pada kenyataannya terjemahan yang lebih tepat mestinya adalah 'bagaimana cara kita hidup sebagai masyarakat' (untuk pemahaman yang lebih baik lihat [[Politik (Aristoteles)|''Politik'' karya Aristoteles]]). |

Dialog ini berlangsung di rumah Cephalus di [[Piraeus]], sebuah kota pelabuhan di luar tembok-tembok kota Athena kuno. Kota ini adalah pintu keluar-masuk perdagangan ke dalam kota. Socrates tampaknya tidak biasa pergi keluar kota Athena.

<!--The paradigm of the [[city]] - the idea of the [[Good]], of the [[Agathon]] - has for Plato a manifold of historical embodiments. The embodiment must be undertaken by those who have seen the Agathon and are ordered through the vision. Hence, in the centre piece of the Republic, Part II, 2-3, Plato deals with the rule of the philosopher and the vision of the Agathon in the famous [[allegory of the cave]], with which Plato clarifies his [[theory of forms]]. |

That center piece is preceded and followed by the discussion of the means that will secure a well-ordered polis. Part II, 1 deals with marriage, the community of people and goods for the guardians, and the restraints on warfare among the Hellenes. It has been incorrectly described as a communistic utopia, a word that is not even extant in classical Greek. Part II, 4 deals with the philosophical education of the rulers who will preserve the order. |

That main body is framed by an Introduction and a Conclusion. The discussion of right order was occasioned by a question whether justice is better than injustice, or whether unjust man will not fare better than the just man.

The question ''The Republic'' sets out to define is "what is justice?". Given the difficulty of this task, [[Socrates]] and his interlocutors are led into a discussion of justice in the city, which Socrates suggests may help them see justice in the person, but on a grander (and therefore easier to discuss) scale. Because of this, some critics (such as [[Julia Annas]]) interpret Plato's paradigm of a just state as an allegory for the paradigm of the just person. Justice is never defined satisfactorially to all participants throughout the dialogue. After Book V, the dialogue concentrates on convincing Glaucon and Adeimantus of Socrates' view of justice; the other characters remain silent throughout these books. |

In the first book, three versions of justice come to be proposed and deemed inadequate. The sophist [[Thrasymachus]] states that justice is nothing but the power of the stronger. This seems counter-intuitive to Socrates, who begins to explore this concept of justice. Thrasymachus believes that the law of a polis, or justice, is nothing but the will of the ruler(s). Thrasymachus is aggressive in advancing this view, he says justice is the advantage of the man who is cunning enough to take power and institute his will upon the people. As a result of this, those who break the law become powerful, eventually rising to the position of rulers in society. Socrates accepts this view, but asks whether the ruler who makes a mistake to his advantage, institutes a law or policy that lessens his well-being, is still a ruler according to the sophist's definition. Sophists made their living in Greece by teaching young men how to rule successfully, and thus Socrates exploits this fact, indirectly undermining Thrasymachus' own definition of justice. This results in a turning point in the dialogue, for Thrasymachus blushes; afterwards, he is silent, as Socrates begins to teach the young men. |

Beginning in Book II, a definition of justice is furthered as the working of a person in the role for which you are best suited, and for not interfering in the work of others. This conception of justice, striking to the modern reader, is closely linked to the Greek conception of [[dike (goddess)|dike]], the just order. This definition of justice leads to a social structure radically different from most previous and subsequent states. Nevertheless, a reader must always be aware that Plato is writing a dialogue in which the dramatic quality has a weight. Socrates, in fact, proceeds in a very different manner than in Book I, where he attacks Thrasymachus's view of justice directly. In response to the two views of injustice and justice presented by Glaucon and Adeimantus, he claims incompetence, but feels it would be impious to leave justice in such doubt. |

The paradigmatic society which stands behind every historical society is hierarchical, but social classes have a marginal permeability; there are no slaves, no discrimination between men and women. In addition to the ruling class of guardians (phulakes) which abolished riches there is a class of private producers (''demiourgoi'') be they rich or poor. A number of provisions aim to avoid making the people weak: the substitution for debilitating music, poetry and theatre of a universal educational system for men and women -- a startling departure from Greek society. These provisions apply to all classes, and the restrictions placed on the philosopher-kings and the warriors are much more severe than those placed on the producers, because the rulers must be kept away from any source of corruption. |

In Books V-VI the abolishment of riches among the guardian class (not unlike [[Max Weber]]'s [[bureaucracy]]) leads controversially to the abandonment of the typical family, and as such no child may know his or her parents and the parents may not know their own children. Socrates tells a tale which is the "allegory of the good government". No nepotism, no private goods. The rulers assemble couples for reproduction, based on breeding criteria. Thus, stable population is achieved through [[Eugenics|eugenism]] and social cohesion is projected to be high because familial links are extended towards everyone in the City. Also the education of the youth is such that they are taught of only works of writing that encourage them to improve themselves for the state's good, and envision (the) god(s) as entirely good, just, and the author(s) of only that which is good. |

The allegory of the cave is an attempt to justify the philosopher's place in society as king. Plato imagines a group of people who have lived in a cave all of their lives, chained to a wall in the subterrane so they cannot see outside nor look behind them. Behind these prisoners is a constant flame that illuminates various statues that are moved by others, which cause shadows to flicker around the cave. When the people of the cave see these shadows they realise how imitative they are of human life, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows such as either "dog" or "cat". The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality, according to Plato. |

When the people of the cave see these shadows they realise how imitative they are of human life, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows such as either "dog" or "cat". The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality, according to Plato. |
||
Plato then goes on to explain how the philosopher is a former prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constituitive of reality at all. He sees that the fire and the statues which cause the shadows are indeed more real than the shadows themselves, and therefore apprehends how the prisoners are so easily deceived. Plato then imagines that the freedman is taken outside of the cave and into the real world. The prisoner is initially blinded by the light. However when he adjusts to the brightness, he eventually understands that all of the real objects around him are illuminated by the sun (which represents the [[Form of the Good]], the form which has caused the brightness). He also realises it is the sun to which he is indebted to for being able to see the beauty and goodness in the objects around him. The freedman is finally cognisant that the fire and statues in the cave were just copies of the real objects in the world. |

The prisoner's stages of understanding correlate with the levels on the [[The divided line of Plato|divided line]] that Plato imagines. The line is divided into what is the visible world, and what the intelligible world is, with the divider being the Sun. When the prisoner is in the cave, he is obviously in the visible realm that receives no sunlight, and outside he comes to be in the intelligible realm. |

The shadows in the cave that the prisoners can see correspond to the lowest level on Plato's line, that of imagination and conjecture. Once the prisoner is freed and spots the fire's reflection onto the statues which causes the shadows in the cave, he reaches the second stage on the divided line, and that is the stage of belief, as the freedman comes to believe that the statues in the cave are real as can be. On leaving the cave however the prisoner comes to see objects more real than the statues inside of the cave, and this correlates with the third stage on Plato's line as being understanding. The prisoner is therefore able to ascribe Forms to objects as they exist outside of the cave. Lastly, the prisoner turns to the sun which he grasps as the source of truth, or the Form of the Good, and this last stage, named as dialectic, is the highest possible stage on the line. The prisoner, as a result of the Form of the Good, can begin to understand all other forms in reality. |

Allegorically, Plato reasons that the freedman is the philosopher, who is the only person able to discern the Form of the Good, and thus absolute goodness and truth. Since the philosopher is the only one able to recognise what is truly good, and only he can reach the last stage on the divided line, only he is fit to rule society according to Plato. |

The English translation of the title of Plato's dialogue is derived from [[Cicero]]'s ''[[De re publica]]'', a dialogue written some three centuries later. Cicero's dialogue imitates the style of the Platonic dialogues, and treats many of the topics touched upon in Plato's ''Republic''. [[Scipio Africanus Minor|Scipio Africanus]], the main character of Cicero's dialogue expresses his esteem for Plato and Socrates when they are talking about the "[[Res publica]]". "Res publica" is not an exact translation of the Greek word "politeia" that Plato used in the title of his dialogue: "politeia" is a general term indicating the various forms of government that could be used and were used in a ''Polis'' or city-state. |

Kepengarangan masih diragukan: |
Republik (Yunani: Πολιτεία, Politeia) adalah sebuah karya filsafat dan teori politik yang berpengaruh karya filsuf Yunani, Plato, yang ditulis sekitar 360 SM. Buku ini ditulis dalam format dialog Socrates.
Judul
[sunting | sunting sumber]Judul asli karya ini adalah kata dalam bahasa Yunani πολιτεία (lihat: politeia). "The Republic" (bahasa Indonesia: "Republik"), terjemahan tradisional dalam bahasa Inggris, sebetulnya salah kaprah, yang diambil dari bahasa Latin Cicero (lihat pula De re publica).
Judulnya dalam bahasa Yunani Politeia berasal dari kata "polis", yang lebih kurang dapat diterjemahkan dengan kata "kota", atau lebih tepatnya "negara-kota". Untuk mencerminkan makna ini, banyak bahasa menerjemahkan Politeia sebagai Negara (bahasa Inggris: The State), termasuk bahasa Belanda (De staat) dan bahasa Jerman (Der Staat). Konsep politeia dalam bahas Yunani kuno dianggap sebagai suatu cara hidup. Jadi, pada kenyataannya terjemahan yang lebih tepat mestinya adalah 'bagaimana cara kita hidup sebagai masyarakat' (untuk pemahaman yang lebih baik lihat Politik karya Aristoteles).
Di dalam karya ini, Plato tampaknya menggunakan kata "politeia" secara lebih spesifik dalam pengertian bentuk pemerintahan, setidak-tidaknya menurut Liddell dan Scott dalam kamus mereka Greek-English Lexicon.[1] Makna "politeia" ini biasanya tidak digunakan untuk meruuk kepada judul karya ini.
Kadang-kadang Masalah-masalah Polis diajukan sebagai terjemahan harfiah judulnya.
Setting dan tokoh-tokoh dalam drama
[sunting | sunting sumber]Tokoh-tokoh utama dalam Republik adalah:
- Socrates
- Glaucon, kakak laki-laki Plato
- Adeimantus, kakak laki-laki Plato yang lainnya
- Tokoh-tokoh lainnya yang kecil adalah Cephalus, seorang pembuat senjata lanjut usia;[2] Polemarchus, anak lelaki Cephalus; Thrasymachus, seorang sofis; sahabatnya Cleitophon; Charmantides, seorang anak lelaki Cephalus lainnya
- Ada tiga orang tokoh yang tidak ikut berbicara: Lysias dan Euthydemus, anak-anak lelaki Cephalus, dan Niceratus.
Dialog ini berlangsung di rumah Cephalus di Piraeus, sebuah kota pelabuhan di luar tembok-tembok kota Athena kuno. Kota ini adalah pintu keluar-masuk perdagangan ke dalam kota. Socrates tampaknya tidak biasa pergi keluar kota Athena. Seluruh dialog ini disampaikan oleh Socrates sehari setelah dialog itu sesungguhnya berlangsung, kepada Timaeus, Hermocrates, dan Critias, antara lain.[3]

Referensi kepada Republik biasanya dibuat menurut nomor buku, halaman Stephanus, dan (yang lebih jarang) menurut nomor buku dan nomor halaman.
Struktur
[sunting | sunting sumber]Berikut ini adalah tiga tafsiran, atau ringkasan, dari dialog ini. Mereka tak boleh dianggap sebagai represntasi yang tuntas, melainkan mewakili pandangan yang dapat diterima tentang karya ini dalam bahasa Inggris kontemporer.
Bertrand Russell
[sunting | sunting sumber]Dalam bukunya History of Western Philosophy (Sejarah Filsafat Barat - 1945), Bertrand Russell melihat tiga bagian dalam Republik karya Plato:[4]
- Buku I-V: Bagian Utopia, menggambarkan komunitas yang ideal, dimulai dari upaya untuk mendefinisikan keadilan;
- Buku VI-VII: karena para filsuf dianggap sebagai penguasa atau pemimpin ideal dari komunitas tersebut, bagian teks ini berkonsentrasi pada definisi tentang apa atau siapakah seorang filsuf itu;
- Buku VIII-X: membahas sejumlah bentuk pemerintahan yang praktis, pro dan kontranya.
Inti bagian kedua ini dibahas dalam alegori Plato tentang gua, dan artikel-artikel yang terkait dengan teori Plato tentang bentuk (yang ideal). Bagian yang ketiga juga memusatkan perhatian pada pendidikan, juga sangat terkait erat dengan dialog-dialog Plato tentang Hukum.

Persamaaan dalam literatur
[sunting | sunting sumber]Aristofanes
[sunting | sunting sumber]Sekitar waktu yang sama ketika Republik disusun, dramatis Aristofanes memproduksi drama Perempuan-perempuan Parlemen. Negara yang dibentuk oleh kaum perempuan dalam drama ini banyak kesamaannya dengan pemerintahan ideal yang digambarkan oleh Plato. Tidak jelas mana yang diterbitkan pertama; kemungkinan sekali Aristofanes pernah mendengar bentuk awal Republik sebelum diselesaikan dan digunakan sebagai dasar untuk Perempuan-perempuan Parlemen.
Utopia

Distopia
[sunting | sunting sumber]Bentuk pemerintahan yang digambarkan dalam Republik telah diadaptasi dalam sejumlah novel dan cerita distopia modern. Pemisahan orang berdasarkan kelas profesional, penetapan profesi dan tujuan oleh negara, ketiadaan satuan keluarga tradisional, yang digantikan oleh pembiakan yang diorganisir oleh negara, dimuat oleh para pengarang yang menggambarkan pemerintahan distopia yang totaliter. Pemerintah yang mirip dengan Republik Plato terdapat dalam buku Brave New World karya Aldous Huxley dan The Giver karya Lois Lowry.
Distopia Orwellian yang digambarkand alam novel 1984 mempunyai banyak kesamaan dengan gambaran Plato tentang alegori tentang Gua sementara Winston Smith berjuang untuk membebaskan dirinya daripadanya.
