Plato and the Question of Security

The purpose of this article is to examine the topics connected with the modern concepts of security in Plato's political philosophy. The opinions of the great philosophers of history, despite their lateness and context, since they are viewed from the perspective of today's security concepts, they provide criteria based on which modern security schools can be established. In this regard, the upcoming article raises the fundamental question of what kind of approach to the concept of security can be deduced from Plato's political thought. In the light of answering this question, the reference, issue and means of security are identified in Plato's thought. Using the hermeneutic method, this study shows that the security approach derived from Plato's political thought is an approach based on the philosophy of liberation, based on which security is based on the dominance of soft factors such as establishing divine laws, acquiring human virtues and establishing Justice (all in its Platonic sense) emerges in society.
