They consider the natures of existing regirnes and then propose a scrics of different, hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis, a utopian city-state ruled by a philosopher-king They also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society.
