Women and Families
[excerpt]
translated by Susan Spitzer
At a certain point in the dialogue, when discussing the "guardians," Socrates had advocated a strictly egalitarian life, along with the abolition of private property. One of the young people had then asked: "But what should be done about women and children?" And Socrates replied: "Friends share everything in common." Then he went on to another subject.
Much later, Socrates' listeners still remember that somewhat mysterious answer. And just as he's about to discuss the bad systems of government, they force Socrates to explain what he meant. This is essentially what's at stake in Chapter 8[ ]
