This \"second sailing,\" according to the distinguished classicist Seth Benardete, is the essence of Socratic philosophizing \u003cbr\u003e In this section-by-section commentary on Plato's most important dialogue, Benardete argues that the Republic is such a self-powered, holistic analysis of the beautiful, the good, and the just.
