This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Plato's Republic, book 4, and discusses Plato's analogy between the ideal city and the human soul. Both the city and the soul turn out to have three main parts, each of which has its proper function.
