 Now, last night, Donald Trump gave his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. But this morning, after two hours of covering that, I am talking with Dr. Daniel O'Toole. Dr. O'Toole teaches political theory at Hillsdale College, and we are beginning a long series in this book, The Republic, by Plato. Why are we talking about a book that was written 2,500 years ago by a political philosopher by the name of Plato?
