Finished commentary on Book V
Fabulous explanation by Bloom of how the key discussion is about:
- Socrates' and all citizens' private lives vs. the ideal city and the elimination of the private
- poetry vs philosophy
- ideal forms vs. individual examples
- justice as natural vs perfect city as art, thus art winning over nature and man
