"Justice of the City" Plato - Book 4 of the
Republic
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). When we ask ourselves how Plato arrives
at any decision it is easiest to understand that
philosopher will lead us across the stream of our
own lack of knowledge, stepping from one stone of
definition to the next. Thus when we reach the
"other side," or have picked up the knowledge,
that we were seeking, we will wonder why we were
ever distressed about crossing the stream, in the
first place. This approach is used to lead us to
understand that the qualities of the virtues of
wisdom, courage, temperance and justice exist
within the city and within ourselves.
