to be fair, the Republic was dictated by Socrates, and written by Plato. Giving Plato credit for the Republic is like giving a stenographer credit for an attorney's clothing statements, or more appropriately, giving all the credit to a student who took notes on his professor's lecture.
The Republic is a thick read, the best way to attack it is to take it step by step, and thoroughly analyze what you're reading. take notes!
