- 593: The Republic By Platoe
- ... s vision of an ideal state is not the same mystical utopia. Plato s Republic is an well-ordered society that emphasizes the development of the community, which leads to its people believing in this philosophy.

I would much rather live in the organized Republic to the unorganized Cloudcuckooland. The underlying philosophy of the Republic was based on the community and not the individual.

- 596: Aristotle's Refutation of Plato's Theory of Ideas
- ... thinker takes a different approach to why there is a God, that of St. Augustine seems the most valid because he takes a rational stance and does not dogmatically assume God's existence.
