Philosophy of Courage: The Importance of the Virtue of Courage According to Plato

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this article is to reveal the virtue of courage which plays a significant role in Plato’s political philosophy. It will be argued that the importance of this role stems from both Plato’s effort to bring together the different dimensions of Socrates’ courage, which he exhibited in his life as a philosopher, whicheven cost him his life, and that it is an integral part of the ideal state solution in which philosophy and politics can be reconciled. Plato was trying to give new philosophical meaning and role to the courage. It will be argued that this point of view can serve to understand the different dimensions of Plato’s search for a solution to construct the philosophical life, which brings together wisdom and courage embodied in the personality of Socrates, on the ideal site as a true and just life.
