Abstract
This paper discusses in detail the whatness of justice in the city as self-realization as Plato explains it in his dialogue named Politeia using the methodos called dialektike. The paper gives a detailed explanation of how a polis can be just, how the education system, which is conceived as necessary for a city to be just, should be in a city that is just, the distinction between justice in the city and justice in one person, the role of women in this polis and politeia, as Plato explains these in his work named Politeia. The text also discusses the whatness of justice in the city as each person doing his/her own (to tou autou prattein), and justice of one person as symphonia or harmonia, and the relationship these two have with one another. Furthermore the whatness of basic Platonic concepts such as polis, politeia, pleoneksia, tekhne, episteme, psykhe is discussed, and an explanation regarding what it means for a person to be happy according to Plato, and how it is possible; and what relation this has with politike dikaiosyne (justice in a city) is provided. Having analyzed in this way one can argue as a conclusion that the sort of rule Plato suggests (namely "aristocracy": the rule of the best) turns out to be a rule in which there is no "alienation", slavery or "slave labor"
