17 - Plato's Republic 6: How to be a Good Person
This episode covers book 4 of Plato’s Republic. What does it mean to be a good person? What is justice?
To answer these questions, Socrates and the boys have built imaginary cities, raised educated and nobly lied to armies, and sent them all to live in a camp. Today’s the day Socrates brings it all home and explains his definition of justice both in the city and in the soul. And to boot, he explains the structure of the human soul.
