In discussing wisdom, explain how it might be measured by the common good \u2013 what seem to be the key elements of the common good as Socrates (Plato) sees it?\u00a0 Briefly explain how courage and self-control (moderation) are understood and why they are important for the common good of the polis (i.e. the city-state Plato envisions).\u00a0 Explain how and to what extent individual justice is portrayed as the proper harmony of the other 3 virtues (435c \u2013 441b).\u00a0 That is, how does Socrates explain that if each of the others is well-developed, and each does its proper \u201cjob\u201d, would a person realize the virtue (i.e. ar\u00eate) of justice?\u00a0 In light of this picture of arete \u2013 i.e. it requires the 4 virtues to be well developed, consider Plato\u2019s discussion of the ability of women with appropriate aptitude and skill to step into any role, including posts as Guardians.\u00a0 Briefly outline the argument for such and for why it is just (453b \u2013 457b).\u00a0 Critically evaluate this argument (including \u2013 what are we to make of the various references to women being \u201cweaker\u201d \u2013 are those signal or noise?).\u00a0 In considering how serious Plato seems to be, discuss the strength\/weakness of this argument strategy for promoting more inclusive access to leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
