The Socratic Method and Inner Harmony according to Plato

The insight in this snip is that Plato describes wisdom as achieving internal justice within the psyche, wherein a person is taught, the lion within them is trained, and the 'monster' inside them is tamed. This process aims to reduce inner conflict and achieve optimal coordination of the psyche's parts, allowing each part to live to its fullest potential without putting the others in danger. Plato sees this as an optimization strategy to experience a fullness of being, be fully alive, and to achieve peace by reducing inner conflict.
