The Tripartite Soul

How is it that man can feel one emotion, yet keep himself in check from acting on it? How is it that conflicting desires and concepts exist within our soul, yet do not destroy us? How can one thing have competing wants and need? In his treatise The Republic, the philosopher Plato examined these exact [...]
