Abstract

In Book V of plato's republic, plato argues that women should be rulers, raising questions as to whether plato was an early advocate of feminism. However, an examination of the argument he provides in the text of the republic does not support this claim, and Julia Anna's' scholastic work "plato's republic and Feminism" also shows that plato should not be viewed as a feminist; and so, in this essay I intend to argue that Anna's' interpretation of plato's proposals regarding women in republic V as being non-feminist in nature is the correct one. plato should not be viewed as a forerunner of feminism, for his proposals are not in keeping with the principles of the feminist movement, nor do they have any bearing on the modern discussion of feminism
