Abstract
Recently, a number of attempts have been made to understand the analogy between craft and virtue1 in the early and middle dialogues. Interpreting the craft analogy in different ways, these attempts have reached different conclusions about the place of the analogy in Plato's maturer moral philosophy. Some even deny that the analogy has any place in that philosophy. This paper shows that the craft analogy is central to understanding the moral philosophy outlined in the first four books of the Republic.
