Note 121 — Chapter III · PLATO

As we shall see, the third reason has been exaggerated for the philosophers. On the favorable attitude to labor at Athens, cf. V. Brants, Revue de l’instruction publique in Belg., XXVI (1883), 108 f., 100 f.; he distinguishes between the doctrine philosophique and the doctrine politique. So also Guiraud, La main-d’œuvre industrielle dans l’ancienne Grèce (1900), pp. 36-50; Zimmern, op. cit., pp. 382 ff., 256-72. For the older view of general prejudice against free labor in Greece, cf. Drumann, Arbeiter und Communisten in Griechenland u. Rom (1860), pp. 24 ff. Francotte (L’Industrie) takes the more conservative position. Cf. infra for further notice of this problem.
