Listen "Republic Bk. IV (cont.) EP 15 The Theory of Parts of the Soul and the Humunculus Problem"
Episode Synopsis
If Socrates is to convince Glaucon that justice and injustice in the soul is like justice and injustice in the city-state, then he must prove that there are parts of the soul analogous to the three classes of the city-state.
