Republic Bk VIII & IX EP 21 Defective Constitutions and Damaged Souls

  • Summary

  • Plato extends his analogy between the constitution of the city-state and the soul of the individual by presenting a theory about how the constitutions slowly devolve from the ideal (kingship or aristocracy) to the most imperfect (tyranny) and how this is mirrored by the slow degradation of the soul.
