Give the correct answer using the codes given below :
(a) Plato's book 'Republic' deals with Idealism
(b) Plato's book 'Laws' deals with Realism
(c) Plato's book 'Republic' deals with Realism
(d) Plato's book 'Laws' deals with Idealism
Codes :
Answer: D
The answer is (a) and (b) are correct.
Plato's Republic sketches an ideal state ruled by philosopher-kings, which is why it is read as his idealist work (a). His later Laws describes a 'second-best' state ruled by law, with mixed institutions, and is read as his realist or practical work (b).
Statements (c) and (d) simply reverse the two books, so they are wrong, and options A and B each reject one of the two correct statements.
