Platos Republic
... In The Republic, Plato divides the city into three classes: gold, silver, as well as bronze and iron souls. ... He believes that wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice combine together to form The Republic. ... In Plato’s search for the perfect "republic", he decides that the basis of the city will be on four virtues. ... The third virtue in The Republic, is moderation. ... The fourth and final virtue in The Republic is justice. ... Justice comes about when every person in the republic is doing what he or she is set to do. ... Virtues are on more of a personal level, whereas he places them in the people of The Republic. In The Republic Plato only allows certain classes to be virtuous in one virtue. ... The four Platonic virtues of wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice are the foundation of Plato’s Republic. ... Plato tries to instill virtues onto certain classes, without thinking about what the "republic" would be like if he gave all people ALL the virtues.
