Document Summary

Hence there will be female guardians and rulers in the kallipolis, as well as male one. I agree with owen that this is a radical idea! By allowing women to be the guardians + rulers of the city, i believe socrates is indirectly suggesting that women possess the mental and intellectual capabilities required for such a job - often done by men. Glaucon agrees that a city of the sort socrates has described would be the best one, but he wonders whether or not it could ever really come about. I think it"s impossible unless we have an understanding of what a perfect society is as well - otherwise the perfect city won"t have any use. We think that you"re slacking off and that you"ve cheated us out of a whole important section of the discussion in order to avoid having to deal with it.
