Plato

In this chapter I thought it was interesting how Plato uses many different poets and philosophers to explain his theory. The reason that I find this interesting is becuase they seem completely different views, in the fact that poets seem to see things that might be and philosophers see what they know is. Adeimantus states that poetry is the seeing rather than the being, the people see apperance rather than the reality of the world around them. The main theme that is shown greatly throughout the section is that justice was the factor in figuring who are poets and also who are philosphers.
