One criticism that has frequently been directed at Plato’s theory of justice and the ideal state is that true justice is only attainable for a select few. The fact that lies have to be used by the rulers to maintain compliance and acceptance of the order of the city reveals that it is really unjust at heart. How do you think Plato would respond to this criticism?
