Matthew Reynolds Professor Jose Haro Philosophy 100 10 April 2017 Book I of the Republic Even though Book I of the Republic is a tedious and difficult text to get through, I did gain some insight from reading the text.

Vikings Close your eyes for a moment. Now imagine that you’re an English monk going about your eclectic duties, when a noise suddenly grabs your attention. You look towards the beach and you see a boat, massive in size and awe-inspiring in appearance, sitting right there on the beach where there was only sand a moment before.
