Politics
|
|
The Platonic idea of a state-city, a prototype of all utopias, is based on three social classes and three structures: |
| The elite guardians |
The soldiers |
The masses |
| Monarchy |
Oligarchy |
Democracy |
|
Much emphasis is put upon training the elite.
The individual soul is divided into three. This structure repeats itself in the state. |
| Reason= the elite guardians |
| Courage= soldiers |
| Appetites= Masses |
