Sees the ‘Republic’ primarily as a work of moral (and political) philosophy, putting less stress on the epistemology and metaphysics. (…) The basis of W.’s overall interpretation is sketched in the Introduction: by making goodness the primary notion in ethics, and insisting on its objectivity, Plato avoids the unanswerable problems that arise for those who see morality in terms of the conflict of duty and interest; hence he is neither an egoist nor a utilitarian. W.
