Plato
You believe there is a deeper, truer order behind the mess of everyday life, and that reason can reach it. You'd design the ideal society if anyone let you.
“We are twice armed if we fight with faith.”
What you’d believe
- The Theory of FormsBeyond the physical world lie eternal, non-material Forms (Justice itself, Beauty itself); particular things are imperfect copies.
- The tripartite soulThe soul has reason, spirit, and appetite; justice is their proper harmony under reason.
- Philosopher-kingsThe just city should be ruled by those who know the Form of the Good.
