Plato, Republic Book 4 - Happiness Of Citizens And The City - Sadler's Lectures

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Republic, in particular book 4. Specifically it examines his discussion about the happiness of the citizens of his ideal city or political community. The goal is to produce happiness for all of the classes of the city, not just one class, and to do so by allowing them to express their natures through their distinctive activities.
