Gaze At The City And Soul

In The Republic,Socrates and the interlocutors establish a city-state for the purpose of discussing justice,and draw an analogy between the city-state and the soul.This clue runs through the entire dialogue,combining visual viewing activities with soul thinking into a "gaze" of justice,and true justice is only realized in the soul of a philosopher.The gaze of the philosopher on his soul reveals the beauty of his own gaze,which is self-sufficient without being attached to possession and is also a portrayal of the justice of the philosopher.The realization of justice in the soul of a philosopher replaces the desire to remain in the city-state.The beautiful city-state stared at by the interlocutor is the reflection of the soul of the philosopher.At this point,the analogy between the city-state and the soul and the philosophers contrasted with each other,and played together the fabric of justice.This article is divided into three parts:Part one: Identify "gaze" as an important footnote to the article.By combing the scenes related to the gaze in The Republic,the two meanings of the gaze are pointed out,focusing on explaining the meaning of the gaze in the three classic metaphors,and looking for inspiration from Symposium.Then,according to the connection between the city-state and soul analogy and viewing activities,the gaze was directed to the theme of the dialogue-justice,and the two meanings of "gaze" were seen from the change in the view of justice of Glaucon and Admantos.Corresponds to worldly justice and Platonic justice.Part two: Explore the city-state justice and soul justice in the analogy.First,it analyzes the dialogue scene before the city-state and soul analogy is introduced,and clarifies the importance of context in understanding dialogue.Secondly,the discussion on the analogy between city-state and soul.In this part,a semantic analysis of the dialogue title Politeia is conducted to confirm that the isomorphism between the city-state and the soul has a etymological basis.Then,analyze the status of the city-state’s tool in the analogy,and introduce the city-state system to gaze at soul justice,but the subsequent soul justice does not fully match the city-state justice,thus exposing the analogy of the gaze of justice,but this layer of regret Never blocked the conversation.Third,explain the causal connection between the city-state and the soul that is not explicitly discussed in the dialogue.This connection is for the city-state and soul analogy.Part three: Focus on the philosopher’s just soul.The paradox on the philosopher deviates from the analogous presupposition,but reflects the most perfect justice.First of all,the philosopher’s rationality merges with the love for philosophy,and the light of reason shines on the philosopher’s own soul regime.Secondly,through the analysis of the images of tyrants,gentlemen and Leontias,we can explore the beauty of philosophers’ justice and see the possibility of philosophers breaking analogies from the erotic system.In the end,the philosophers still have to return to the city-state to complete their ruling mission.
