   Plato's argument for gender equality rests on a distinctive view of human nature, and his elaboration of the consequences of pursuing gender equality reveal that a price would have to be paid for it that few are willing to accept. His argument should be considered by contemporary advocates of gender equality.

   How did Plato view women?

   Does Plato promote gender equality or patriarchy?

Faced with evidence of both, scholars typically ask whether Plato promotes gender equality or patriarchy rather than what a particular treatment of women means in the dialogue to which it belongs.

   Is Plato's Republic a feminism?

   • Many readers have seen in Plato’s Republic a rare exception in western philosophy’s long history of sexist denigration of women, and some have even decided that Plato’s willingness to open up the best education and the highest jobs to women shows a kind of feminism (Wender 1973). Other readers disagree (Annas 1976, Buchan 1999).

   Does Plato believe women should be equal?

   • It is less a question of justice than of the efficient use of resources. Allan Bloom (1968, 383) also argues that Plato does not believe women to be equal and that he treats them equally in the city of the Republic only for the political good.
