Plato's Republic 3 & 4

Plato's Republic 3 & 4
Socrates and Plato's brothers — Glaucon and Adeimantus — are discussing the best way to educate leaders for a just republic. In the course of their dialogue, the meaning of justice in individuals and in society shifts from external order imposed through rules and regulations to the harmony and balance internal to every person in the republic. Only then will an individual be ready to act — whether in acquiring wealth, in caring for the body, or in any public or private affairs.

Quote:

"Justice is not concerned with external things but with the inner person, the true self and its affairs. A just person does not allow the various aspects of the soul to interfere with each other but tends to the order of the inner life. Just people are their own masters."
