Document Summary
The theme of the republic is justice and particularly of what to do about the rule by some over others. Book 3 talks about the education of the guardians. It is also a question of institutional practice amongst the practice into true guardians. 405a: in the perfectly just city there will be no lawsuits, we will no laws because a perfectly just society there aren"t disputes it"s the illumination of conflict. Eugenics law: is a program of state engineering to prohibit some people to reproduce and others to, so ethic purity continues. Socrates says a just city will require some type of eugenics law. (410a) the purpose of the doctor was to kill the people with bad nature, they will only cause trouble. To ensure best nature is around and bad nature is out. That leads socrates to a refinement of what a true guardian is.
