Hi, Im new and hope this is the right forum for this matter. If not, forgive me
Anyway, I was reading the republic (by Plato) today and I came across some of the issues that I wanted to discuss.
First of all, Plato talks about the upper class in his city, (1) how does he generally view the way of live and education of the upper class in his city?
He then goes to talk about that his ideal city corresponds to the parts of the soul. (2) How so? I didn't quite get that.
He also says there is a certain type of person or something that he thinks should rule his city. What is this person that he thinks should rule his city (3)?
And I also have trouble understating how he distinguishes between knowledge, opinion, and ignorance?
Hope this will intrigue you to discuss further more
