[Footnote 92: Plato, Republic, iv. p. 424 A.] [Footnote 93: Plato, Republic, iv. pp. 425-426.] [Side-note: Religious legislation--Consult the Delphian Apollo.] In regard to religious legislation--the raising of temples, arrangement of sacrifices, &c.--we must consult Apollo at Delphi, and obey what he directs. We know nothing ourselves about these matters, nor is there any other authority equally trustworthy.[94] [Footnote 94: Plato, Republic, iv. p. 427 B. [Greek: ta\ ga\r dê\ toiau=ta ou)/t' e)pista/metha ê(mei=s], &c.] [Side-note: The city is now constituted as a good city--that is, wise, courageous, temperate, just. Where is its Justice?] Our city is now constituted and peopled (continues Sokrates). We mast examine it, and see where we can find Justice and Injustice--reverting to our original problem, which was, to know what each of them was, and which of the two conferred happiness. Now assuming our city to be rightly constituted, it will be perfectly good: that is, it will be wise, courageous, temperate, and just. These four constituents cover the whole: accordingly, if we can discover and set out Wisdom, Courage, and Temperance--that which remains afterwards will be Justice.[95] [Footnote 95: Plato, Republic, iv. pp. 427-428.] [Side-note: First, where is the wisdom of the city? It resides in the few elder Rulers.] First, we can easily see where Wisdom resides. The city includes in itself a great variety of cognitions, corresponding to all the different functions in which its citizens are employed. But it is not called _wise_, from its knowledge of husbandry, or of brazier's and carpenter's craft: since these are specialties which cover only a small fraction of its total proceedings. It is called _wise_, or well-advised, from that variety of intelligence or cognition which directs it as a whole, in its entire affairs: that is, the intelligence possessed by the chief Guardians or Rulers. Now the number of persons possessing this variety of intelligence is smaller than the number of those who possess any other variety. The wisdom of the entire city resides in this very small presiding fraction, and in them alone.[96] [Footnote 96: Plato, Republic, iv. pp. 428-429.] [Side-note: Where is the Courage? In the body of Guardians or Soldiers.]
