Plato's political philosophy is the starting point of the face leads to the death of Socrates the philosopher and the city-state conflict in the relationship.It can be said that all the works of Plato are the relationship of the philosopher and the city's response to this question, efforts in their own ways to answer. This article is divided into five main areas, first, Plato's political philosophy to explain the proposal, explain the philosopher's writing practices and emerging issues with the city, and the second is the philosopher and the city-state analysis of the causes of conflict, the third part is written to resolve this conflict in the first attempt that the words just do not realize the feasibility of city-states, and to clarify the nature of political things, which set out for the ultimate laid the foundation for conflict resolution, the fourth part is the ultimate statement of conflict resolution way out, the last part of Plato's political philosophy is the impact on future generations. Plato's dialogue is all the drama of the book body, we want to understand Plato's are all writing is a skill, not just reports, or simply not reported, are active rather than passive Writing Record , Plato the performance of all the works are the great rhetorical tricks of rhetoric through the operation of such a manifestation of the world. This means that his work as a whole, each part has its significance and necessity of existence, it must draw our attention.Philosopher of extreme conflict with the city-state relations, there is more or less the following reasons: The first is the distinction between philosophers and the public. Philosopher has a unique talent, they go beyond the love and the pursuit of truth in the views above, and the views of the public trust, their life and livelihood from the views of various components, most of these views are more imagination is up to more believes. This means that the philosophers and the public nature of the different. In addition, the philosopher and the public than a small number of people are always in position. A second reason is that philosophers and wise men, philosophers leave the other. Wise and leave the so-called intelligence-chol But people are people and they misled the public the reason why they would do evil because they are evil I do not know, because I do not know what is good and evil really knowledge. They have just about the views of good and evil, in the ordinary opinion, they can not put their own understanding of the philosopher as a useless waste, they serve rather than the soul of the body, leading philosophers of the dangerous situation. The third is the authority of philosophers and the city-state confrontation. Philosophers distinguish between the customs and nature, and strive to explore what is really the proper natural life, represented by questioning the authority of traditional law will be based on the authority of the existence uprooted, their study only consider the real nature of the authority, which is any the authority of the city can not be tolerated. The fourth reason is the lack of self-knowledge philosopher. Through the "defense" so that we took note of Plato's Aristophanes to descriptions of Socrates that Socrates is a situation on their own without any self-knowledge and where the "feiduo" to give the corresponding default, Socrates did not know how that is human nature to identify and therefore a lack of self-knowledge. The fifth reason is the philosopher's own judge is also required by the vet. Philosopher has always been to go beyond the pursuit of knowledge in the views on responsibility. However, this is a legitimate pursuit of their own remains to be proved that the so-called knowledge of philosophers at the same time has yet to be proved. In the city before the philosopher necessary to clarify the legitimacy of their own lives. Unless the relationship between such conflict in a "Utopia" in order to disarm, but told us that Plato's ideal state is stored in the sky, will not achieve on the ground, mainly because of the "Utopia" itself is not very just, Level of it such as violation of natural and so on, and it will inevitably fall. Portrayed through the "Utopia", Plato does not tell us the best possible political system, it told us of a political nature and limits of services. City or the nature of political affairs that they can achieve less than perfect individuals.Philosophers to resolve the conflict with the city mainly in the following way, the first philosopher to change are a means to survival, a political philosopher. This does not mean that research is no longer a natural philosopher, philosophers are still studying fearless nature, but at the same time begin study personnel, to understand political affairs. Philosophy and political philosophy as a means only a change in the way of survival. In other words, the political philosopher in the city changed the words and deeds. Chol people political change resulting in the city of philosophers impression unwanted harmful to the city left a good impression, and the city exerts a subtle influence. The second is the impact of the legislators, and strive to achieve the rule of law. The rule of law is not the best political system, but in reality are the most stable on the most viable form of political, philosopher at the impact of the rule of law by legislators in the city-state must be philosophers along with the city and each other. Third, teaching poetry and Plato's writing. Plato maintained that the law must be read in conjunction writing poetry, and that poetry can be very good people on probation, but must go beyond the ordinary meaning of poems on the poetry, which is subordinate to the new philosophy of the poem, which is hodginsii Writing Latour.
