The POLITIKUS is on the Art of Government, and gives the Platonic beau idéal of the One competent person, governing absolutely, by virtue of his scientific knowledge, and aiming at the good and improvement of the governed. This is merely another illustration of the Sokratic ideal a despotism, anointed by supreme good intentions, and by an ideal skill.
The Republic is an enlargement of the lessons of the Politikus without the dialectic discussion. The postulate of the One Wise man is repeated in KRATYLUS, on the unpromising subject of Language or the invention of Names. The PHILEBUS has a decidedly ethical character. It propounds for enquiry the Good, the Summum Bonum.
