    Dunning in his book History of Political Theories, Ancient and Medieval (1905) mention that to Plato when he wrote Republic determination to be scientific implied that his theory must sketch an ideal state and not merely describe an existing state. Though it may seem paradoxical, it is literally true that the Republic pictures a utopian not because Plato intended it to be the start of a scientific attack upon the "idea of the good".
