And what if the kind is not the philosophers but the idea. i.e. a true and commendable democracy.

[@lianescantlebury7739]

If Plato had no sympathy for the arts , why did he think the guardians should be taught art, poetry, music etc

[@aramalaura75]

That it is possible because of an aproach that he has on Phaidros - About Love, or nonetheles, about speeches. The guardians are people who have to know the art of oratory, and in Socrate's oppinion in this dialogue, and also the only one where he will ever have a more friendly approach on poets and arts, the public speaker, in our case, the guardian, needs to know to construct a dialogue ( how to start, which other oppinions to consider, what proof to bring and what arguments should be made in the end, as well as "to know what shells a soul takes", and with this knowledge to be able to say the right words to the right people. By example to the afraid individual you are gonna want to adopt a gentle manner of speaking and so on. Socrates considers that is the job of the artist to know about the soul, and to know about the soul it's a necessity when taking the job of public speaking, in our case, the guardian.

[@cetvies-author-writer]

Did Plato not live in the time of democracy without human rights?- and duties.

[@sixsix6743]

There's people today that don't have no human instinct they'll never ever know how it is to be the person they know they can because they don't at this point they don't know who they are they've been beaten down by Society but whatever but that human instinct is not there brilliant

[@farhanmunawar2420]

[@sixsix6743]

[@nancymohass4891]

What is your philosophy for .....anything?!

[@abenaoyeaddi8261]

You made a mistake pertaining to the year Plato died

[@sixsix6743]

We need to be wild free savages live on the streets I always made it my number one in my life is my freedom like freedom I don't want nobody tell me nothing how could you ever know where you ever will be in life you lost a human instinct we're not living up to the human beings that we should have been that we were meant to be we are not the human beings that we were meant to be in our minds in your human instinct you AR e we need to start fixing this problem before we come become an instinct how are we killing our human instinct and then sit and wonder what the f*** is wrong with everything we're killing human instinct and that's what's going to kill us in the physical world

[@tenaciousdfan9]

That is a loooong sentence

[@Brian-sh5ne]

Ever heard of Diogenes? You might like him

[@abdalaez]

I kinda don't like Plato and his (I'm better than you therefore my argument is better than yours) attitude.
