Explanation

Plato's theory of Virtue follows the Socratic doctrine. He identifies virtue with knowledge. From this, it follows that virtue is teachable and that men can learn morality just as they can learn any other subject. Plato makes a fourfold division of morals and associates them with the different parts of the soul. The four virtues are wisdom or prudence, valour, temperance and justice.
