The purpose of this article is to promote a debate around Plato's work
Republic, aiming to situate and establish: 1) the author's arguments in favor of an ideal
pólis model; 2) the characteristics of Archon's political making as dominant and
effective behavior among the leaders of the pólis government, insurgent against the
desire for improper possession (pleonexia) on the part of the men who held the ring of
Gyges and were invisible, which would believe, of those who are around him, they may
revert in their favor any kind of leadership, especially the sovereign one, and then
embody for Plato the metaphor of the unjust man in this writing; 3) Finally, we will
elaborate the definition of justice, as well as the individual conscience in totum of the
citizens who compose the pólis and act in order to achieve the common good and full
functioning of the city, discerning them according to the difference of skill and
hierarchical position in the city in relation to their others, producing what we may call
the tripartite social and political structure of both the pólis and the soul, both in full
harmony in platonic theory
