Abstract(s)

In Politeia, Plato analyses the types of human desirability, showing that there are perverse desires, detrimental to the possibility of the existence of common-good. The paragon of human perversity is the tyrant, precisely the one whose "paideia", annulling the corrective political instances – the "super-me" –, lead to an absolute hold of power, enslaving all other human beings. Briefly, this is how Plato read Freud.
