    How compelling is the city-soul analogy and to what extent does the picture of “Platonic justice” that emerges from it differ from conventional justice? Much has been written about the inadequacy of the city-soul analogy in establishing what justice is‚ and further about how Plato fails to adequately connect his vision of justice to the conventional one and so is unable to address the original challenge. I mean to show that the city-soul analogy is in fact compelling‚ or at least that is it sufficiently

    practically plagiarized Plato. Substitute "god" for "the good" and "the divine" for "the forms" and there you have it: Augustine’s philosophy. He even adopts the technique of argument by analogy from Plato. It is interesting to note the inconsistencies in Augustine’s own comparison to Platonic theory.

    analyzing the works of Plato and John Locke I feel that Plato presents a more accurate idealism in how a society should be maintained. Plato puts ultimate power in those with the highest knowledge. I feel that this concept is necessary in order to have a successful regime‚ thus I support in my argument. Plato’s theory hand picks guardians to become Philosopher Kings. These kings are those with "Gold" Souls‚ and in fact do not wish to become such a hierarchal figure. Plato chooses Guardians who do
