Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
- Just as there are three classes in the city, so there are three functional parts to the human.
- Philosophers rule the city. The head rules the individual. The virtue is wisdom.
- Guardians protect the city. The heart protects the individual. The virtue is courage.
- The artisans provide the needs of the city. The stomach, and that which is below, provide the needs of the individual. The virtue is temperance.
