In the Republic, Plato introduces many of his viewpoints and ideals through arguments. Some examples of what he introduces are what defines a city, principles of specialization, the tripartite soul and the sun, the line and the cave.

Plato supports his claim of the tripartite soul by explaining that sometimes individuals find themselves in conflict with two desires.
