Description
In Book Seven, Socrates begins the discussion with the Allegory of the Cave, an exploration of the natural process of being educated. In Book Eight, Socrates and Plato's brothers explore five different kinds of republic and five different kinds of individual, showing how aristocracy becomes timocracy and how oligarchy spawns democracy, ending with the evolution of tyranny.
