Now that socrates has found the elements of the just city-state and the soul, he will now identify four more foundations of the city-soul. Before beginning his new project, adeimantus and polemarchus interrupt and want socrates to further explain his statements on sharing spouses and children. These rules, explains socrates, creates a unified city compared to other cities where most loyalty and care is given to one"s own family but in the just city, everyone is family share all goals, problems, loyalties. Question: is it possible to have these requirements/rules whether anyone can be asked to abide this lifestyle with no familial connections/wealth/nor romance. On training guardians for war, he suggests taking young ones to watch war. Socrates must now explain how such a lifestyle will be persuasive enough for.
