This essay discusses how Plato justifies his vision of a perfect society. He assumes that it is possible for humans to live free from the ills that plague life. In his "Republic", he argues that in order to create the perfect society, the state has to establish a tyrannical set of regulations upon the guardians. In other words, the state separates the guardians from the rest of the citizens. In this way, it is the wise and noble people that control society. 7 pgs, bibliography lists 1 source.
