  7. MLA In-Text Citations There is clear indication that Plato does not believe his society could actually exist: Do you suppose that what we say is any less good on account of our not being able to prove that it is possible to found a city the same as the one in speech. (Plato 472) This demonstrates that the society introduced in The Republic is a philosophic exercise as opposed to an actual plan.

Protagoras’ declaration that, “Man is the measure of all things” displayed a lack of understanding, or caring, for any higher truths. (Gaarder 62) Thus, Socrates, had to teach the Athenians that there were matters more important than the individual, and that a universal ethics existed.
