This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on book 2 of Plato's dialogue, The Republic, and discusses one of the most striking metaphors of the book: The Ring of Gyges, which turns its possessor invisible, and is liable to lead the wielder into injustice.
