The Republic is more essential than the Politics, but both are great. The Republic is really hard to understand, REALLY. It’s fairly easy to grasp the basics from it, though, especially with some help from someone whos read it many times and has read criticism and other texts by Plato. You can find these online, but I like owning books, and they aren’t expensive. You can write in books if that’s your thing, and it’s just more satisfying than writing on the screen. And cheaper.
