>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 16 10:54:11 2015 No.6277337 >>6277334 Well, it isn't just a description of the ideal city. If you don't see the connection between the soul and the state that runs throughout the Republic you missed the point.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 16 10:57:20 2015 No.6277347 >>6277337 of course there is a connection, but there are people who say it has nothing to do with an actual state whatsoever.

>>6277367
I know, which is why I'm co fused about how anyone could think otherwise. I can see how someone might think that's vaguely totalitarian á la Popper but not getting it at all seems impossible if you read the dialogue with anything like a close eye.
