This task links to the Course Assessment Specification (CAS): Democracy - the nature of democracy and different forms of democracy & theorists such as Plato.

We are now going to undertake some wider reading to continue to develop our understanding of democracy as a political idea. 

Plato was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. He held strong views on democracy and believed it to be a disastrous political idea.

You can read more about Plato here. As we need to develop our understanding of theorists' views on democracy, we should now read the following short extract from Jonathan Wolff's book which is attached to this post above.

Once you have read this chapter, write a 250 word synopsis of Plato's main line of argument. 

You may upload your response to your student folder.
