    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

    (2) Critically evaluate Plato’s theory of the tripartite soul‚ in Republic. Plato’s espousal of a tripartite conception of the ‘soul’ as displayed in The Republic‚ offers an interesting and valuable account of the human psyche‚ and for the motivational factors that can influence individual conduct. By virtue of searching for why a man should follow courses of action that are seen to be ‘just’‚ Plato compliments his ethical answers by establishing a psychological structure that shows that conflict

    Plato: Knowledge‚ and Immortality of the Soul Reading this selection was a bit confusing since Socrates is the one who is talking and not Plato himself‚ I quickly realize that Plato was a pupil of Socrates so it would only make sense to explain your beliefs through the words of the very person who instilled this truth within you. To start off‚ I would like to bring up “The Divided Line”. The diagram shown first divides‚ to my understanding‚ the world as it is from the world as we perceive it. It

    Plato: The Tripartite Soul Book IV 435c-441c The soul and justice within the soul are issues that Plato endears much time and effort into explaining. The existence of ones soul and its influence upon society is a definite argument by Plato‚ yet viewed very differently by various scholars of the time and centuries to come. Through this essay I intend to address Plato’s interest in the just soul in relation to his tripartite vision of its existence. As Plato lays out in his work The Republic

    a story written by Plato‚ is actually an account of how the death of Socrates went about. This fictitious story written from Phaedo’s point of view is used by Plato to detail his ideas of life and death‚ but through the perspective of Socrates on his final day. By emphasizing that in fact Plato was not there when this happened‚ he makes it clear that this is his speculation and not a true story. Nevertheless‚ there is a lot to learn about Socrates’ (and Plato’s) idea of the soul from this reading
