Plato, Republic Book 4 - Injustice, Overreaching, And Faction - 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 how things go wrong in the human soul when the three parts Plato distinguishes - the rational part, the spirited part, and the appetitive part - are in disharmony with each other, producing the disorder and vice of injustice.
