Plato's Republic
Ch. 6 - Inner and Outer Morality
Plato's community has four elements of goodness:
1) Wisdom
2) Courage
3) Self-discipline
4) Morality
The community's wisdom comes from the thought and resourcefulness of the guardians.
The community's courage comes from the bravery of the auxiliaries.
The Community's self-discipline comes from the submissive nature of the workers.
The community's morality comes from each member of each class acting in accordance with their class duties/responsibilities and not over stepping those boundaries.
