Socrates and Thrasymachus

What is striking in the Republic is less the doctrines that Plato propounds than the relationship that he develops between ideas. We show that a surprising number of these relationships are already set forth, or alluded to, in the encounter between Socrates and Thrasymachus

Aristotle on Women

Sex differentiation is a pervasive and striking feature of the animal world, of which humans form a part. Patriarchy and role differentiation between men and women are pervasive phenomena in human societies. Aristotle is not about to re-design the world. But these phenomena are explained and justified at the economic level, and that is not where human values lie. At the higher level of civilized life, the differentiation becomes anomalous. Aristotle never shows how the anomaly is to be overcome. This is partly because the account of the homestead and the treatment of the city as such are not made into a single whole. Like the problem of slavery, the problem of women\u27s place in the city is not treated as urgent
