Philosophy 101: How to Read Plato?

Exactly! Which is why his aesthetics is predicated on the agenda of "clarifying justice" by prescribing what a just state is. This agenda is, at the same time, a critique of then existing form of government, the original Greek demoncracy, which most philosophers of that time are critical of. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were all critical of Greek democracy. Thanks for the input. @jefft
