36 | What is Utopia? Part II. Plato's Republic (with Owen Alldritt)

from What's Left of Philosophy · host Lillian Cicerchia, Owen Glyn-Williams, Gil Morejón, and William Paris

In this episode, we talk with Owen Alldritt about justice. We come to Plato’s defense against the Western philosophical canon, mostly in spite of ourselves, and insist on the True coinciding with the Good. What does this all have to do with utopia, you ask? As it turns out, Plato is a realist and he thinks we can know the Good in itself, organize our cities accordingly, and realize justice…or at least philosophers can.
