Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion (A): "Until Philosophers are kings and princes of the world have the spirit and powers of Philosophy, cities will never have rest from their evils.

Reasons (R):  The republic aimed at the representation of human life in a state perfected by justice and governed according to the idea of good.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is

Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

Both statements describe Plato’s Republic correctly. A states the requirement of philosopher rule; R describes the work’s aim of portraying a just state governed by the Good. R does not itself explain why philosophers alone possess the knowledge needed to rule, so it is not the direct explanation of A.
