Philosophers in the 'Republic': Plato's Two Paradigms (Book)
Title: Philosophers in the 'Republic': Plato's Two Paradigms
Author: Roslyn Weiss
Abstract: It is argued that Plato's 'Republic' contains two types of philosopher, the natural philosopher who loves the Forms and would rule willingly under reasonable circumstances, and the philosopher by design who has no natural love for the Forms but has to be coerced both to ascend out of the 'Cave' to the transcendent realm and to descend to the Cave to rule.
