    Plato agrees that Philosophers in Athenian society can be dangerous, but he then counters they can only become a danger when they’re corrupted by society. He uses the simile of the ship to explain that because democratic society has no use for philosophers, they have no alternative but to stand aside from the corruption of political life. The simile of the ship denotes each feature to a part of Athenian society. The ship represents the basis of a Democratic Athenian Society and the Captains plays the electorate. He is big and strong, yet deaf and short sighted which shows the blindness of the citizens who in the long run cannot see what is good for them. The crew represents the politicians who are each quarrelling among themselves and constantly wanting control of the captain. They form groups, much like political parties, and try to manipulate the captain in order to overthrow him and if one of these groups were to take control the ships journey would become a drunken pleasure cruise. As a whole the crew members do not believe that navigational skills are needed to bring the ship into port. The Navigator symbolizes the philosopher.

    You must find them by their fringes, And bully them into obedience! Yes, I conscripted missionaries then, Stolen from cloisters in faraway dreams, Adroit masons of the mind To prise ideas brick-by-brick, Entire realities dismantled, Tapestries and murals burnt with your hands, Temples desecrated into theaters of my sins, The dilated sun still at their backs, Its radiance now cloaking their pained expressions, Even as you sing my hymns. My heart was opened on these altars, The guts were parceled in neat lines; Careful not to touch them for too long, These phrases are purer than sodium flakes -- Taste them not! They will singe your insides!…
