Plato. The Republic. Socrates.
Welcome to the Republic of Middle Aged Men, Episode 21
In this episode we cover the last part of chapter 9 of the Republic.
This episode Socrates discusses Tyranny some more and finally answers the question put to him so many chapters ago.
We also explore the need for law or rules for raising children and or for leading / ruling over those who are not philosophers.
We discuss the nature of this model compared to the Catholic church and also explore the similarity between Socrates and John West.
We are very excited to continue our podcast our read through of Plato's The Republic.
We are 3 real world mates, none of which are qualified in philosophy but all of which are wanting to work through this classic and others in the future, as well as generally hanging out and chatting about life as Middle aged Men.
We hope you enjoy hanging out with us and that you will join us at www.therepublicofmam.com
Thanks.
