The Republic The Virtuous City by Plato

The republic is the main political author for Plato and called it "Khalibos" the ideal state from Plato's point of view consisting of three classes: an economic class consisting of merchants and craftsmen, the guards class, and the philosopher kings class. People are chosen from a specific class and subjected to a certain educational and upbringing process. The best people are chosen to be philosopher kings, as they have absorbed the example in the science of the example to produce wisdom. Plato linked the social classes with certain social virtues. For example, the merchant and craftsman class is linked to the virtue of self-control. The guards class is linked to courage. The philosopher kings class is linked to wisdom. The virtue of justice is linked to the entire society, where he called for the separation of the tasks of the classes.
