ABSTRACTWe suggest that Book Five of the Republic, where
Plato discusses the status of women in the guardian class, is a
superb source of Platonic insight. For it is precisely the
discussion of women that is most vulnerable to co-optation by the
modern vernacular of interest, a vernacular to which the
Republic is vehemently opposed. If students
come to appreciate an alternative perspective regarding this most
sensitive of modern issues, the full impact of the Socratic approach
is available to them.
