This chapter provides the original text and translation of Book X of Plato's the Republic , which has been reprinted from J. Burnet's Platonis Res Publica . It explains how Book X completes the main argument of the Republic by defining justice and addressing the question concerning poetry about human beings. It also looks at the reasons why Socrates regarded the poets as unwholesome and dangerous as they pretend to know many things, but they actually know nothing. This chapter explores the immortality of the soul, which can only be destroyed by what is bad for the person. It discusses how injustice and certain vices are bad for the soul, but it cannot destroy it as the soul is immortal.
