Star Trek and the Psyche

Plato's Politeia (the work we call The Republic thanks to Cicero's Latin mistranslation) describes the soul as having three parts: reason ( logistikon), spirit ( thumos), and appetite ( epithumia). But throughout the dialogue, Plato also describes a fourth element... repeatedly, and by name. He calls it the auto politeia (self-constitution): the governing principle that determines how the three parts relate. Plato has it in the text. His readers have looked right at it and counted three for 2,400 years.
