This vague and magnificent conception was probably hardly clearer to Plato himself when he wrote the Republic than it is to us_ [_cp._ Introduction, p. xcii]; _but in the Sophist and Statesman it appears in a more definite form as a combination of analysis and synthesis by which we arrive at a true notion of things._ [_Cp. the_ [Greek: u(phêgême/nê metho/dos] _of Aristotle_ (Pol. i. 1, § 3; 8, § 1), _which is an analogous mode of proceeding from the parts to the whole.] In the Laws dialectic no longer occupies a prominent place; it is the 'old man's harmless amusement'_ (7. 820 C), _or, regarded more seriously, the method of discussion by question and answer, which is abused by the natural philosophers to disprove the existence of the Gods_ (10. 891).]

Education. [_Education in the Republic is divided into two parts,_ (i) _the common education of the citizens;_ (ii) _the special education of the rulers._ (i) _The first, beginning with childhood in the plays of the children_ [_cp._ Laws 1. 643 B], _is the old Hellenic education,_ [_the_ [Greek: katabeblême/na paideu/mata] _of Aristotle_, Pol. viii. 2, § 6], {348}--_'music for the mind and gymnastic for the body'_ [_cp._ Laws 7. 795 E]. _But Plato soon discovers that both are really intended for the benefit of the soul_ [_cp._ Laws 5. 743 D]; _and under 'music' he includes literature_ ([Greek: lo/goi]), _i.e. humane culture as distinguished from scientific knowledge. Music precedes gymnastic; both are not to be learned together; only the simpler kinds of either are tolerated_ [_cp._ Laws Book VII, _passim_]. _Boys and girls share equally in both_ [_cp._ Laws 7. 794 D]. _The greatest attention must be paid to good surroundings; nothing mean or vile must meet the eye or strike the ear of the young scholar. The fairy tales of childhood and the fictions of the poets are alike placed under censorship_ [_cp._ Laws Book X, _and see s. v._ Poetry]. _Gentleness is to be united with manliness; beauty of form and activity of mind are to mingle in perfect and harmonious accord._--(ii) _The special education commences at twenty by the selection of the most promising students. These spend ten years in the acquisition of the higher branches of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, harmony_ [_cp._ Laws 7. 817 E], _which are not to be pursued in a scientific spirit or for utility only, but rather with a view to their combination by means of dialectic into an ideal of all knowledge_ (_see s. v._ Dialectic). _At thirty a further selection is made: those selected spend five years in the study of philosophy, are then sent into

## active life for fifteen years, and finally after fifty return to

philosophy, which for the remainder of their days is to form their chief occupation_ (_see s. v._ Rulers).]

God. [_The theology of Plato is summed up by himself in the second book of the Republic under two heads, 'God is perfect and unchangeable,' and 'God is true and_ {351} _the author of truth.' These canons are also the test by which he tries poetry and the poets_ (_see s. v._ Poetry):--_Homer and the tragedians represent the Gods as changing their forms or as deceiving men by lying dreams, and therefore they must be expelled from the state. But Plato has not yet acquired the austere temper of his later years. He does not threaten the impenitent unbeliever with bonds and death_ (Laws 10. 908, 910), _but is content to show by argument the superiority of justice over injustice. In other respects the theology of the Republic is repeated and amplified in the Laws; the theses that God is not the author of evil and will not accept the gifts of the wicked or favour the unjust, are maintained with equal earnestness in both. The Republic is less pessimistic in tone than the Laws; but the thought of the insignificance of man and the briefness of human life is already familiar to Plato's mind_ [_cp._ 6. 486 A; 10. 604; _and see s. v._ Man]. _The conception of God as the Demiurgus or Creator of the universe, which is prominent in the Timaeus, Sophist, and Statesman, hardly appears either in the Republic or the Laws_ (_cp._ Rep. 10. 596 foll.; Laws 10. 886 foll.).]

Cp. Constitution, State.

Government, forms of. [_The classification of forms of government which Plato adopts in the Republic is not exactly the same with that given in the Statesman or the Laws. Both in the Republic_ {352} _and the Statesman the series commences with the perfect state, which may be either monarchy or aristocracy, accordingly as the 'one best man' bears rule or many who are all 'perfect in virtue'_ [_cp._ Arist. Pol. iv. 2, § 1]. _But in the Republic the further succession is somewhat fancifully connected with the divisions of the soul. The rule of reason_ [_i.e. the perfect state_] _passes into timocracy, in which the 'spirited element' is predominant_ (8. 548), _timocracy into three governments in turn, which represent the 'appetitive principle,'--first, oligarchy, in which the desire of wealth is supreme_ (8. 533 D; 9. 581); _secondly, democracy, characterised by an unbounded lust for freedom_ (9. 561); _thirdly, tyranny, in which all evil desires grow unchecked, and the tyrant becomes 'the waking reality of what he once was in his dreams only'_ (9. 574 E). _Each of these inferior forms is illustrated in the individual who corresponds to the state and 'is set over against it'_ (8. 550 C). _In the Statesman, after the government of the one or many good has been separated, the remaining forms are classified accordingly as the government has or has not regard to law, and democracy is said to be_ (303 A) _'the worst of lawful and the best of lawless governments'_ (_an expression criticised by Aristotle,_ Pol. iv. 2, § 3). _In the Laws again the subject is differently treated: monarchy and democracy are described as 'the two mother forms,' which must be combined in order to produce a good state_ (3. 693), _and the Spartan and Cretan constitutions are therefore praised as polities in which every form of government is represented_ (4. 712). _But the majority of existing states are mere class governments and have no regard to virtue_ (12. 962 E). _These various ideas are nearly all reproduced or criticised in the Politics of Aristotle, who, however, does not employ the term 'timocracy,' and adds one great original conception,--the_ [Greek: mesê\ politei/a], _or government of the middle class._]
