Abstract
A crucial dimension of Platonic political philosophy is investigation of eros for to kalon, desire for beauty or nobility that is at core of heroic and political virtue. Socrates' turn to investigation of the human things is due in part to his discovery that his ostensibly apolitical eros for beauty of ideas is based on problematic opinions about noble virtue, justice, and gods. His inquiry into these matters is practical for Socrates as it teaches him how to live and is useful for politics insofar as it helps us scrutinize political opinions and gives us a model of deliberation that is helpful for politics.
