Scholia Reader — Republic, Plato

Socrates continued: "And so, Glaucon, after a long and weary way, we have at last arrived at the rulers and at their origin — and when I saw them, I knew that we had arrived at the truth, and that the rest was mere preparation for this end."

✍️ Amara annotated: "This mirrors Hegel's conception of the dialectic arriving at Absolute Spirit — the journey IS the destination."

“Yes,” said Glaucon, “and that is a very just remark. But how will things be managed when they grow old and feel the weight of years?”
