 The Republic - Preface
HE Republic of Plato is the longest of his works with the exception of the Laws, and is certainly the greatest of them.
The Republic, like the Phaedrus, is an imperfect whole; the higher light of philosophy breaks through the regularity of the Hellenic temple, which at last fades away into the heavens.
And the supposition that the Republic was written uninterruptedly and by a continuous effort is in some degree confirmed by the numerous references from one part of the work to another.

 Plato's Republic
The word "republic" is from Latin: Res publica means "public matters" or "the state." In Greek, the title was the Politeia, which means the Constitution.
In the end, probably the most enduring image of the entire Republic, as an expression of Plato's view of life and the world, is the Allegory (or Simile) of the Cave.
The argument of the rest of the Republic, consequently, is that the just man would not be tempted by invisibility to commit crimes, because he would know that crime itself makes one unhappy and that he is better off to remain just.

The Republic of Heaven is set around the middle of the spectrum, encompassing believers, agnostics, and any atheist who sees a point in life (those that think along the lines of myself and Philip Pullman).
The Republic, as I see it, is a world in which people live life responsibly and fully, help others to do the same, respect the different beliefs of other people, and, in the case of atheists, act morally and responsibly without hope for reward or fear of punishment.
The metaphorical Republic of Heaven is an ideal of religious harmony and morality.

 The Republic of Codes
The much-vaunted "Republic of Letters" in Holland and France or the supposed "public sphere" of England were in many ways as provincial as a German or Italian court, albeit on a larger scale.
While methods like those pioneered by Trithemius lay behind the theories of this first manifestation of the Republic of Letters, a consolidated imperial postal system managed by the Taxis (developed from 1490-1516 for emperor Maximilian I) and the polyglot versions of the neo-Latin dictionary of Calepin were the key technologies that allowed it to function.
Nevertheless both court and republic depended on each other, a relationship nicely emblematized in the parallel markings of the cipher and the double process of enciphering and deciphering.

 Militant Seedbeds Of Early Quakerism By David Boulton
Christ could yet rise in sons and daughters, even if the republic of heaven was to be a republic not of this world.
The Quaker movement of the 1650s was in part a response to the failure of that revolution to materialise, with a consequent tendency to internalise and spiritualise the republic of heaven as "within" and mystical rather than "without" and this-worldly.
In the very last days of the republic, Fox records in the Journal that while riding out on his horse in Nottinghamshire he was met by a troop of soldiers on their way to join General Lambert in a last-ditch stand against Monck's troops who were marching south to put Charles II on the throne.

Despite all of its shortcomings, the Republic was the work that singlehandedly separated the real from the ideal in Western civilization, and it also defined the kinds of questions that Western philosophers would try to answer until the 20th century.
The Republic was the first work of real philosophy in the conversation of ideals that continues to this very day in fields as diverse as politics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and religion.
Plato's Republic is unparalleled in its coverage of all areas of life.

The republic of heaven proposes an overturning of the old order which puts down the mighty from their seats, privileges the hitherto unprivileged, sees the hungry fed, gives the unhappy cause to laugh.
The republic is to be built, stone by stone, by the free citizens of the republic of heaven, fully aware that they alone are responsible for what they are building and how they build it.
The republic is to be the masterwork of the wholly human spirit, and the fruits of the human spirit are the religious virtues of mercy, pity, peace and love.

A touching dedication to the loss of Adriana’s mother to cancer, “The Republic of Heaven” is a dedication of spirit and love through the vocalization of aching loss and the ability to find the way through such loss.
Full of daring passion it reveals the duo in almost a bare bones feeling, as if they were putting their hearts out on the drying line to both share and retain their loss as both memory and understanding.
In “The Republic of Heaven” David Roze (guitar, bass, cello and keyboards) and Adriana Roze (vocals, flute and keyboards) present a glorious arrangement of their indefinable talent.

 Amazon.com: The Republic (Everyman's Library (Cloth)): Books: Plato   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This work was its author’s main weapon in his fight to forge a new world, to replace the quarrelsome magnificence of Achilles and Odysseus with the rational grandeur of Socrates.
Pretty much everything written in that tradition either borrows from Plato or refutes him, and the Republic articulates his philosophies more fully than any of his other works(although the Timaeus is more mature and the Symposium is an amazing discussion on a single point).
With that said, it is easy to see that the Republic proposes many things that disgust most modern human beings: censorship for political stability, ostracism of those with "weak" (read: human, sensitive, or some equivalent) emotions, killing young children, government regulation of sexual activity, and such.

Neither, if we mean our future guardians to regard the habit of quarrelling among themselves as of all things the basest, should any word be said to them of the wars in heaven, and of the plots and fightings of the gods against one another, for they are not true.
