Although Plato's purpose throughout the entirety of this work is to describe his ideal for of government for his ideal city, I can't help but feel as though he is also trying to explain how an ideal way for a person to live. Examples of this can be seen throughout his work, from ways that a person should train athletically to the ways that a person should approach work and craft. Plato also emphasizes the importance of each role a person has in the city. While there are a few things suggested by Plato that would have a more difficulty implementing in our modern world, there are still a few things that could be implemented on a practical level.
P.S. Commented on Matt's.
