It is the best explanation of ideas, of thoughts and of political concepts related to justice, liberty, war, freedom and so on, that are needed to understand political environment better. The researcher has focused on reproduction and analysis of these ideas as well as in various research papers, articles and journals. Due to paucity of time, in-depth study of every topic wasn't possible. The researcher selected three aspects of great importance and relevance- Conception of State, Division of State and Justice. After analysis of these aspects in detail, the researcher has tried to compare Plato to the modern political beliefs. Law is intricately connected to Political Science, both shape each other. Not all ideas presented can be applied to present day society, however they can be used to analyze the development of society's soul. The research question the researcher wishes to answer is- What significance does Plato's Republic hold in the context of modern political understanding?
