Plato&#x27;s Republic 3ii<p><pre><code>  And now let us see how our city
  will be able to supply this great demand:
  We may suppose that one man is a husbandman, another a builder,
  some one else a weaver --shall we add to them a shoemaker,
  or perhaps some other purveyor to our bodily wants?.
  The barest notion of a State must include four or five men.Clearly.
