About the video:
One of Plato's major contributions in his work The Republic and the Phaedrus is his concept of the tripartite division of the soul. In this video, I analyse what Plato meant with the tripartite division of the soul and also its implications and impact in later philosophy, most notably its connections with Freud's concept of the id, ego and superego, as well as its implications in our modern lives.
