The 5th Volume of the Republic is the densest and the most complex of all volumes. It not only introduces us to some crucial theories like Feminism in Ancient Greece, the infamous Theory of Forms, the claim of Philosopher Kings and gives an explanation of Knowledge using Mathematics. Considering how complex and hard to understand the 5th book is, we will digress from our usual pattern to cover 2 books in one episode. Socrates proposes gender equality, gives us some rules of war, considering he's a veteran of the Peloponnesian War himself, explains how the city's communal behaviour must be and talks, suggests that philosophers must be kings and kings must be philosophers, and an important revelation about knowledge and ignorance.
