Moral Philosophy: Plato's Republic Moral Philosophy: Ethics from Socrates to Sex A Collection of Ethical Theories in a Nutshell as a Springboard to Moral Philosophy. Plato - The Republic (390 BC) Selections from The Republic cover Socrates views on a form of censorship, especially in terms of what is allowed to children. That of fiction written and that of the poets should be censored to protect the "nature of gods and heroes." Mainly so that false representations are not made and so that the young are not exposed and desensitized to the evils that may appear in such stories. Since most all will learn virtuous lessons from the great storytellers, censorship is needed to ensure that the mind of the audience is modeled to be virtuous. The Republic was perhaps Plato's most epic endeavor, and became widely criticized as the basis for totalitarianism. Read more ethical theories in a nutshell at the link provided.
