Note 92 — Chapter XXXI · KRATYLUS.
Reading edition
Plato, Republic, ii. p. 369 seq., where the γένεσις of a social community, out of common necessity and desire acting upon all and each of the individual citizens, is depicted in a striking way. The ἀρχη of the City (p. 369 B) as Plato there presents it, is Aristotelian rather than Platonic.
