NOTES
1 Both Plato and Alcibiades were students of the great Athenian philosopher Socrates.
2 Plato, “Seventh Letter,” 324b-324c.
3 Ibid., 324d.
4 Ibid., 325a.
5 This term is often rendered “philosopher-king,” but we find this misleading because Plato—ahead of his time here, as often elsewhere—believed that women were perfectly capable of fulfilling the duties of this highest political office.
6 Plato, The Republic, 494b-494d.
7 Ibid., 521a.
8 Ibid., 520d.
9 Ibid., 360b-360c. One finds the same theme in the relatively recent film Hollow Man, where a decent research scientist played by Kevin Bacon becomes invisible and goes on a rampage worthy of Gyges himself.
