metadata.value: This article is dedicated to the theme of manliness in Plato’s philosophy. The starting point is Plato’s dialogue
  “Laches” where this subject is brought into question. Our main argumentation is based on the materials
  provided by the dialogue Republic because this is the dialogue where manliness is being considered
  as one of the principal human und political qualities. The theme of manliness is set in a context which
  includes a series of concepts of great importance such as Goodness, Friendship, Liberty, Intelligence and
  last but not least Philosophy. Manliness is characteristic of the guards who in order to best perform their
  role and defend the polis, they must be able to draw the line between that which belongs to their polis and
  that which does not. The capacity to distinguish constitutes the essential nature of the guards. This nature
  is regarded as substantially philosophical, but needs to be actualized. The way to do it is to educate the
  guards. So we arrive at the problem of paideia. It should be kept in mind that the main purpose of “The
  State” is to elucidate the structure and the nature of the human soul. The guards whose inherent privilege
  is manliness occupy an intermediate position in the system of the polis and consequently in that of the
  soul and correspond to the intellectual capacity responsible for ratiocination and rational choice. Manliness
  is represented within the following conceptual line: manliness as valor of the soldier, as excellence
  of the guard, as citizenship, as valor of the free. The relevant contexts of Plato’s dialogues are given close
  consideration, the results of linguistic studies which corroborate the relevant theses are adduced. Refs 9.
