419-421c The goal is to make the community as a whole happy, not any particular parts of it. The Republic Book IV questions “How would you answer socrates if he said, if a person were to say that you are making these people miserable, and that they are the cause of their own unhappiness?”. Adeimantus told Guardians that the value of the city and its interest must be good to the Guardians. Perhaps, the city doesn 't make the people, but does it dispossess them to many pleasing things? The resolution will be between what the people desire, what we think will make them happy, and what really makes people happy in reality. Plato’s responses still continues to be more elaborate.

This might be a good thing for the city, but for the rulers it would not be. The “well-being” sense of happiness gets significant attention. The word happiness is unclean itself, you might want to know about that things of happiness, itself. Philosophers who write about happiness, usually take their discussion corresponding two different sense like a state of mind and a life that goes well for the person leading it. A sum of Plato’s case was, he views that we must be moral in order to be happy. His four virtues were wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice. Wisdom had to deal with the intellect.

Plato, towards his philosophy gives important places to the idea of justice. “Good Governance” is like a phase that has become a part of the vernacular of a large range development. In Plato’s Republic, Plato argues about the kings should become philosophers or vice-versa philosophers should become kings, or even a philosopher king. Today’s democracy is finely defined as government of the people and by the people. Plato argues that only a certain type of education is available for only a few people. Which allows these few people to become philosophers, which will create a ruling unit. It’s so unrealistic to claim than an elite doesn 't exist today, that is why there’s always political parties who take turns when it comes time for running for government. Although, Plato’s argument is people who have the ability to bring happiness and justice to the Republic is ideal, of course
