Perception of Plato's "Republic" characteristics and purpose by Leo Strauss

This thesis examines the question of how the American political philosopher Leo Strauss interpreted Plato's dialogue "Republic". The author examines the specifics of L. Strauss' perception of the structure of the dialogue, the role of key characters and the main motives of the work. The position of Leo Strauss on the task of "necessary lie" in the reasoning of the characters is indicated. The characteristic of L. Strauss' attempts to project "communism" on the arguments about the abolition of private property and the universality of wives and children is shown. The relation of L. Strauss on the issues of gender equality and the participation of philosophers in the management of society is demonstrated. This thesis reveals the peculiarities of Leo Strauss' perception of the possibility of building a more perfect political and social structure, and outlines the main factors that, according to L. Strauss, make Plato's political project impossible.

Keywords: "Absolute communism", "noble lie", "Republic", "nature of City", classic philosophy, Plato, political idealism, Socrates, utopia.
