{\bf 1. Introduction}

 When I was a 17-year-old freshman reading The Republic, I thought Plato was crazy in his proposed city. But I was intrigued. Compared to Aristotle, that silly schoolmarm who always chose the conventional and moderate path and who read like an out-of-date textbook, Plato was romantic and allusive, and seemed to have something deeper underneath, just out of sight. 


 

Plato does NOT want philosophers to be kings. They would be rotten at
it. I take Bloom in Response to Hall a step further.

The Laws has an Athenian citizen, not Socrates, making alws.

Socrates is just as bad at politics as at astronomy in The Birds.
McCain on Earmarks.

Ecclesiasuzae.

 Han Fei.

Sexual freedom is desired by Socrates.

The Myth of Er. I am Christian so I believe something like it.

 Buckley on the NY phone book.

Political economy. two thigns: desire to do good, ability to do good.



  I need to lay out  the order of the argument  in The Republic.
