17 - Plato's Republic 6: How to be a Good Person

This episode covers book 4 of Plato’s Republic. What does it mean to be a good person? What is justice?

Today’s the day Socrates brings it all home and explains his definition of justice both in the city and in the soul. And to boot, he explains the structure of the human soul.
