Plato’s REPUBLIC, Book 3, Part 4

Plato's Republic is arguably THE foundational text of the Western tradition in philosophy. Book Three continues to discuss the educational system of 'guardians' of the hypothetical city we are constructing, the "good city" (in Greek kalipolis). We continue to discuss the official censorship required to be sure that our guardians are educated in the proper way. Once this is concluded, we discuss which of the guardians should rule, and how they are to be chosen from the other guardians, and finally that the guardians are to live a communistic existence without private property, wealth, or even living space. This is the the final installment of Book 3. Enjoy!
