  How does the argument apply to unjust people who are not  psychologically tyrannical? Anyone who is not a philosopher either  has a divided soul or is ruled by spirit or appetite. Division in the soul  plainly undercuts the ability to do what one wants. Can one seek  honor or money above all and do what one wants? Although the ability  to do what is honorable or make money is not as flexible as the  ability to do what is best, it is surely possible, in favorable  circumstances, for someone to be consistently able to do what is  honorable or money-making. This will not work if the agent is  conflicted about what is honorable or makes money. So he needs to be  carefully educated, and he needs limited options. But if he does  enjoy adequate education and an orderly social environment, there is  no reason to suppose that he could not escape being racked by regret, frustration, or fear. This explains how the members of the lower  classes in Socrates’ ideal city—who are probably not best identified as the timocrats and oligarchs of Book Eight (Wilberding 2009 and Jeon 2014)—can have a kind of capacity to do  what they want, even though they are slavishly dependent upon the  rulers’ work (cf. 590c–d).
