What I truly enjoyed about the reading was Plato's writing style. The dialogue description of Plato's philosophy, though at times difficult to decipher, had a more comfortable and inviting feeling to it. I also enjoyed the analogy of the cave and how through education we make our way out of the cave. I also agreed with the idea of once the philosopher came out of the cave they go back into the cave to rule. These philosophers are reluctant to rule, which makes for a strong ruler for there intentions are more pure. The rule for the good of the people.
