A different model for arms bearing is found in varying degrees in the city-states of ancient Greece and the Roman Republic. In a republic, a person who was entitled to a voice in how the state was run was also responsible for helping to defend it. But just who should control the weapons was subject to dispute. Plato believed that because the state needed to train its citizens for defense, the state should have a monopoly on arms. Citizens... 

Prior to Abbott s work, several individuals considered analogies between 2-D and 3-D worlds. For example, psychologist and physiologist Gustave Fech-ner wrote Space Has Four Dimensions in which a 2-D creature is a shadow man projected to a vertical screen by an opaque projector. The creature could interact with other shadows, but, based on its limited experience, could not conceive of a direction perpendicular to its screen. The idea of 2-D creatures dates back to Plato s Allegory of the Cave, in the seventh book of The Republic, where shadows are representations of objects viewed by 3-D observers constrained to watch the lower-dimensional views. Unlike Fechner, Plato does not suggest that the shadows have the capability of interacting with one another.

Constrained as it is in an orbit close to the Sun, Mercury is not an easy planet for naked-eye observers to locate. The greatest separation between the planet and the Sun, as seen from Eartb, is 28° and consequently the planet is never visible against a truly dark slg. Even at its greatest angular separation from the Sun, Mercury will either set within two hours of sunset, or rise no earlier than two hours before the Sun. Nonetheless, Mercury has been known since the most ancient of times, with observations of the planet being reported as far back as several centuries b.c. The Greek philosopher Plato refers to the distinctive yellow color of Mercury in Book X of his Republic,... 

Music is, in a sense, pure form, but Plato was deeply suspicious of music s emotional appeal and in fact believed that the ideal republic should ban certain modes of music.

The recognition that some people are genuinely ill while others are deserters from life long antedates the development of modern medicine and the scientific concept of disease. In the Republic, Plato inveighs against the physician who accepts the malingerer as a bona fide patient and treats his complaints as if they were real diseases [T]o require medicine, said I, not merely for wounds...

At this stage, marked for the Greeks by the dawn of philosophy and the first advances in the sciences, the fine arts attained a degree of perfection that no other people had known before and that scarcely any has since achieved. Homer lived at the time of the dissensions that accompanied the fall of tyrants and the formation of republics. Sophocles, Euripides, Pindar, Thucydides, Demosthenes, Phidias and Apelles were contemporaries of Socrates or Plato.
