Plato's views in the Republic suggest a utilitarian framework, which the author argues is the only defensible ethical theory. The book intricately connects the interpretation of Plato's work with utilitarian principles, addressing critiques from notable philosophers like Karl Popper, Bertrand Russell, and R H S Crossman. Additionally, the implications of these arguments extend to the realm of education, highlighting the significance of utilitarian ethics in shaping educational practices and philosophies.
